RICKY Hatton’s last post on social media before his tragic death saw him gearing up for his massive comeback fight.
Posting on Instagram, he wrote “Thursday session in the bag” alongside a video of the 46-year-old intensely training.
The video received encouraging comments from supporters of the former fan favourite, with one telling him to “keep leading by example” and calling him the “people’s champ”.
Others called him a “huge inspiration” for getting back in the ring after his battle with inner demons.
“Still got the moves” another commented.
The Manchester icon was just 46-years-old when he tragically died this morning.
Greater Manchester Police said: “We can confirm that we have found a body at an address in Gee Cross at 6.45am today, Sunday, September 14. The death is not being treated as suspicious.”
Fan favourite Hatton, known as The Hitman, won four world titles after trading blows with some of history’s greatest fighters.
Hatton, who held an MBE, had worked as a boxing promoter and trainer since hanging up his gloves.
He also appeared on the TV show Dancing on Ice last year.
