we train, we sweat, we take hits, we get up. But sometimes the hardest fight happens in silence, in the mind,&#8221; Khan added on X. &#8220;Mental health isn&#8217;t weakness. It&#8217;s part of being human. And we must talk about it. We must reach out. We must lean on each other.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hatton&#8217;s all-action style added to his popularity. He built up a passionate following in the UK before truly announcing himself on the world stage with his epic victory against Tszyu for the IBF world super lightweight title in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>Pound for pound, great Tszyu had only lost twice before, but was forced to retire on his stool in front of 22,000 fans in Manchester.<\/p>\n<p>Hatton later described it as his greatest win but it was just the start of a period when he fought at the top of the sport, with thousands of fans following him to America for huge fights.<\/p>\n<p>In a post on X, his former manager, Frank Warren, described him as a &#8220;superbly talented fighter who inspired a generation of young boxers and fans in a way very few had done before,&#8221; adding he will &#8220;rightly go down as one of the modern greats of this sport.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hatton lost for the first time in his career against Mayweather at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>After a sold-out homecoming at Manchester City&#8217;s stadium a year later, he worked his way back to the top of the sport to take on Manny Pacquiao in 2009, losing inside two rounds.<\/p>\n<p>Hatton retired after that defeat, but made a remarkable comeback four years later after piling on weight and enduring issues with depression and drinking, as well as allegations of drug use.<\/p>\n<p>While he lost to Vyacheslav Senchenko, the very fact that he managed to return to the ring was seen as a personal triumph.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/live\/c201x6891e8t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Speaking to the BBC<\/a> in 2022, Ricky Hatton discussed his struggles with his mental health over the years.
