His death is a huge loss for boxing and for everyone who admired him. Back in 2020, during lockdown, Ricky gave fans a peek behind the curtain of what he\u2019d been watching to pass the time. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babestation.tv\/blog\/ricky-hatton-posts-isolation-video-with-babestation-on-in-the-background\/\"><span class=\"s1\">He posted a video<\/span><\/a> in which he spoke about being in isolation, dealing with the strain of confinement, and needing to \u201ckeep positive and keep yourself busy.\u201d <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In that same message, Ricky mentioned Babestation &#8211; a choice of entertainment that showed even champions need escapes like the rest of us. It wasn\u2019t just about fighting, it was about staying sane, finding small comforts, and doing what you can to keep spirits up. Fans chimed in: some admired his candour, others joked about \u201ca man\u2019s gotta do what a man\u2019s gotta do.\u201d It resonated because it felt real.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"qme\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/keepsmiling?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#keepsmiling<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/keeppositive?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#keeppositive<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/keepbusy?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#keepbusy<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/keepsafe?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#keepsafe<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pxJT8PNTHH\">pic.twitter.com\/pxJT8PNTHH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ricky Hatton MBE (@HitmanHatton) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HitmanHatton\/status\/1242826411087454208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 25, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Now, thinking of that video makes his passing hurt even more. We remember that moment not just for its odd charm or the light relief it offered, but because it revealed more of who Ricky was: someone who battled not just opponents in the ring, but also isolation, uncertainty, and the pressures of fame.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3431 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.sexstationtv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gettyimages-1244727286.jpg\" alt=\"Ricky Hatton \" width=\"495\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.sexstationtv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gettyimages-1244727286.jpg 860w, https:\/\/blog.sexstationtv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gettyimages-1244727286-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.sexstationtv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gettyimages-1244727286-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.sexstationtv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gettyimages-1244727286-696x465.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ricky\u2019s career was filled with great nights &#8211; defeating Kostya Tszyu, fighting Manny Pacquiao, the roar of the crowd, his loyalty to Manchester City &#8211; but what made him more than a boxer was that he let people see the man behind the gloves. His openness about his struggles made him more human, endeared him even more to his fans. He will be deeply missed. The loss of Ricky Hatton is more than the end of an era in boxing &#8211; it\u2019s the absence of a voice that spoke honestly about life, vulnerability, and resilience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is with a heavy heart that we share the news: Ricky \u2018The Hitman\u2019 Hatton has passed away at age 46. \u00a0 A world champion, a warrior, and to many, a hero &#8211; not just for his victories, but for his humanity and the ways he connected with fans beyond the sport.
