Hatton, from Manchester, went 45-3 as a boxer over more than 15 years. He won titles at light welterweight and welterweight. His first loss as a pro came in 2007 against Floyd Mayweather Jr. Two years later, he also lost a fight to fellow all-time great Manny Pacquiao.<\/p>\n

Hatton had a huge and supportive worldwide fanbase, in part thanks to his open and frank discussion about his struggles with mental health and addiction.<\/p>\n
