In a dramatic twist following the sudden death of boxing icon Ricky Hatton, his family has confirmed that his last will and testament leaves nothing to his longtime partner. Instead, the entire estate has been allocated to a beneficiary whose identity has taken both relatives and friends by complete surprise.
According to documents reviewed by those close to the matter, Hatton’s decision appears deliberate, with his partner omitted entirely from the distribution of assets. Family members described their shock upon discovering the unexpected beneficiary, with one relative admitting, “None of us saw this coming. It changes everything we thought we knew about his private life.”
The identity of the recipient has not yet been disclosed publicly, but insiders hint that the choice may shed light on hidden aspects of Hatton’s personal relationships in his later years. Legal experts note that while the will is binding, it could become the subject of a dispute, especially given Hatton’s long-term domestic partnership.
“This type of exclusion is highly unusual, particularly for someone who maintained such a close relationship for so long,” one probate attorney explained. “Cases like this often spark challenges in court, and we may see this play out in the months ahead.”
For Hatton’s fans and followers, the revelation adds yet another layer of mystery to the boxer’s legacy, coming on the heels of reports of family conflict and irregularities in his death records.
As speculation grows, the Hatton family has urged the public to respect their privacy while they attempt to process both the grief of loss and the unforeseen legal and personal ramifications of the will’s contents.
