Tributes have been paid to Ricky Hatton after one of Britain’s greatest boxers was reported to have died at his home at the age of 46.
Greater Manchester Police said in a statement that a body had been found on Sunday morning in the town of Hyde but did not confirm the identity of the deceased man.
The statement read: “Officers were called by a member of the public to attend Bowlacre Road, Hyde, Tameside, at 6:45am today where they found the body of a 46-year-old man. There are not currently believed to be any suspicious circumstances.”
Hatton was a famous Manchester City supporter. The club have confirmed that there will be a minute’s applause before today’s Manchester Derby with players also wearing black armbands in remembrance of the boxer.
