Ricky Hatton - 'always the people's champion'
Ricky Hatton was remembered as a "warrior" who became the "people's champion" as boxing legends and sporting greats paid tribute following the fighter's death at the age of 46.
Former world champion Hatton's body was found at his home in Hyde, Greater Manchester on Sunday and police said there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances.
Stockport-born Hatton - nicknamed 'the Hitman' - was high on the list of Britain's most popular and recognisable boxers having won world titles in the light-welterweight and welterweight divisions.
Amir Khan remembered "one of Britain's greatest boxers" and Tyson Fury said Hatton was a "legend", while Wayne Rooney said he was "devastated" by the news.
