The boxing world has been rocked once again as news emerged that Ricky Hatton’s last will and testament has finally been opened. The findings have left both his family and fans in disbelief, as the bulk of the boxing legend’s multi-million-pound estate was left to a beneficiary no one expected.
The Will Unsealed
Legal representatives confirmed this week that Hatton’s estate, valued at several million pounds, has been formally reviewed in probate court. Family members who gathered for the reading of the will were reportedly “speechless” upon hearing that the primary beneficiary was not his immediate relatives, as most had assumed.
Instead, insiders claim Hatton designated a long-time friend and associate outside the family circle as the recipient of the largest portion of his fortune.
Family Reaction
The decision has stunned his relatives. According to one source close to the family:
“They were expecting Ricky’s assets to go to his children and close family members. No one imagined that he had chosen someone else entirely. It’s left everyone shocked and confused.”
While Hatton did leave provisions for his children and immediate family, the surprise choice for the primary inheritance has sparked outrage and questions about his intentions in his final months.
Legal Battle Looming?
Experts now warn that the will’s contents could trigger a legal dispute. If any family members decide to contest the document, the case could drag on for months, exposing more personal details of Hatton’s private life.
“When an estate of this size is involved, emotions run high,” said one probate lawyer. “The fact that the chosen beneficiary is unexpected only increases the likelihood of a challenge.”
Fans in Shock
On social media, fans expressed disbelief and sympathy for the family, with many saying they never expected Hatton’s wealth to end up in the hands of someone outside his bloodline. Some have even speculated about whether he was influenced in his final days to make the decision.
