The legacy of boxing icon Ricky Hatton has taken yet another shocking turn after detectives uncovered a mysterious safe hidden in the trunk of his car, sparking fierce disputes within his family.
The Safe in the Trunk
Investigators, combing through Hatton’s personal belongings, were stunned to find a locked steel safe secured inside the lining of his vehicle’s trunk. According to sources close to the case, the safe appeared untouched for years — possibly dating back to the height of Hatton’s boxing career.
Police technicians managed to open it after several hours, only to discover contents that have now ignited a bitter conflict between Hatton’s relatives and his wife.
Contents Cause Family Rift
While officials have not released the full inventory, insiders claim the safe contained documents, private letters, and items with significant financial and emotional value. Some of these papers, sources say, directly reference Hatton’s marriage and financial arrangements, raising uncomfortable questions about trust and loyalty.
A family member told reporters:
“The discovery has shaken everyone. Some believe Ricky wanted these secrets hidden forever — others think it’s proof his wife knew more than she admitted.”
Wife Under Scrutiny
Hatton’s widow has reportedly objected to certain documents being shared with the wider family, fueling speculation that the safe’s contents could alter how Hatton’s wealth and legacy are handled. Relatives insist they have a right to know what was found, while others urge privacy.
Boxing World Reacts
Fans and former colleagues have expressed shock at the latest revelation. For many, Hatton was not only a champion in the ring but also a man who carried deep personal struggles outside of it.
“Ricky always had secrets,” said one insider. “But no one expected something like this to come out after his death.”
