In a stunning turn following the death of British boxing legend Ricky Hatton, family members reportedly demanded his widow undergo a DNA test after she revealed she was pregnant just weeks after his passing.
According to sources close to the family, the request was made privately but ignited tensions within the grieving household. Relatives allegedly questioned the timing of the pregnancy announcement, prompting suspicions that strained relationships already under the weight of loss.
The DNA results, now leaked to the press, have left both the family and fans in shock. While officials declined to disclose the findings in full, insiders describe the outcome as “deeply controversial” and say it has fueled bitter divisions between Hatton’s widow and her late husband’s relatives.
“This isn’t just a family dispute,” one insider told The Herald. “The results challenge everything people thought they knew about Ricky Hatton’s private life.”
The revelation comes as supporters continue to mourn Hatton, whose sudden death stunned the boxing world. Tributes have poured in from across the globe, but behind the scenes, the family drama over the unborn child has overshadowed memorials.
Public reaction has been swift and divided, with many fans expressing outrage at the family’s demand during a time of grief, while others defend their right to seek clarity.
Legal experts warn the case could spill into court if disputes over inheritance, paternity, or guardianship escalate.
“This has gone from a tragedy to a public scandal,” one commentator noted. “And it’s not over yet.”
