"Officers were called by a member of the public to attend Bowlacre Road, Hyde, Tameside, at 6:45 a.m. today, where they found the body of a 46-year-old man," Greater Manchester Police said in a statement. "There are not currently believed to be any suspicious circumstances."

Police didn’t reveal the identity of the man but said they were working with his family to release a statement. However, several promotions and fighters from the combat sports world began to release tributes for Hatton on social media.

"Today we lost not only one of Britain’s greatest boxers, but a friend, a mentor, a warrior, Ricky Hatton," boxer Amir Khan wrote on X. 

"As fighters, we tell ourselves we’re strong — we train, we sweat, we take hits, we get up. But sometimes the hardest fight happens in silence, in the mind. Mental health isn’t weakness. It’s part of being human. And we must talk about it. We must reach out. We must lean on each other.
