Gabby & Mark celebrate the life of a true British sporting
icon, “The Hitman” Ricky Hatton. A ferocious
fighter who turned boxing into spectacle for an army of fans at a
time when the sport seemed lost. A superstar and a proud
Mancunian who you genuinely felt like you could go for a drink
with and talk about the football, or Oasis.

When he descended on Las Vegas to face Floyd
Mayweather, it was as if half of the UK had followed
him... His best night? Shocking the great Kostya
Tszyu, 20 years ago, in front of a sold out Manchester
Arena - Hatton stepped out of the shadows and we fell in love
with him.

In retirement he was open about struggles with his own mental
health, helping countless people by being brave enough, outside
the ring, to talk about it.

Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn discusses the
blueprint Hatton laid for the modern UK boxing superstar, Sky
Boxing's Andy Clarke reflects on the public's
adoration for him and trainer Adam Booth weighs
in on his unique skillset.
