In a bombshell development, investigators have confirmed that Ricky Hatton’s bank account was emptied only hours before his sudden death — and the recipient of the large transaction was not his wife.
Police sources told reporters that financial forensics uncovered a “significant withdrawal” made shortly before Hatton collapsed. The revelation has raised urgent questions about who accessed his funds and whether the transfer is connected to the circumstances surrounding his death.
“This is a highly unusual transaction,” one investigator explained. “The timing and the amount make it impossible to dismiss as coincidence. We’re now working to identify the recipient and determine their relationship to Mr. Hatton.”
Authorities have not yet released the identity of the account holder who received the funds, but family members confirmed it was neither Hatton’s wife nor his children. The disclosure has deepened suspicion of financial manipulation or coercion in the boxer’s final hours.
Legal experts note that such a transaction, if unauthorized, could point to potential fraud or even foul play. “When money disappears right before a sudden death, it’s a red flag,” said one financial crime specialist.
The shocking financial twist comes amid a string of disturbing revelations: Hatton’s phone logs were wiped minutes before his collapse, and a post-mortem found lung damage inconsistent with natural causes. Together, the findings paint an increasingly complex and troubling picture of the former champion’s final day.
Hatton’s family has demanded full transparency from investigators and vowed to pursue legal action if necessary to uncover the truth.
