Former world boxing champion Ricky Hatton had a glittering 15-year career at the top of the sport.
The aggressive, brave fighter, known as 'the Hitman', held multiple world and UK titles, winning 45 of his 48 professional bouts.
But he came from humbler beginnings. Born in Stockport in October 1978, he grew up on the nearby Hattersley estate in the Tameside area of Greater Manchester.
His mother and father, Carol and Ray Hatton, owned four pubs, including the one on the estate - next door to the home of the Moors murderers.
It was a far cry from the bright lights of Las Vegas, where he found himself in 2007, facing one of the biggest fights of his career, against Floyd Mayweather.
