In an alarming new twist following the death of British boxing legend Ricky Hatton, his widow has reportedly hired a private security team after receiving a string of anonymous threats from an individual claiming to “know the truth about the baby in her womb.”
According to sources close to the family, the messages began appearing just days after the widow publicly confirmed her pregnancy — a revelation that had already sparked intense speculation within the Hatton household.
“She’s terrified,” said a close friend. “The messages weren’t random — they contained private details only someone close to Ricky would have known.”
The unidentified sender allegedly sent multiple encrypted messages, each suggesting that the child’s paternity may not be what the public believes. The final message reportedly included a chilling warning:
“You can’t hide the truth forever.”
Fearing for her safety, the widow has since relocated from the Hatton family home and hired two private security professionals, both former law enforcement officers, to monitor her property and accompany her in public.
The Hatton family, meanwhile, is said to be divided over how to respond. While some relatives have urged calm, others are pressing investigators to determine who is behind the threats — and whether they connect to ongoing inquiries into Ricky Hatton’s final days.
“It’s becoming impossible to separate personal tragedy from the mystery surrounding his death,” said one family insider. “Now even the unborn child is at the center of the storm.”
Detectives have confirmed that they are aware of the threats but declined to comment on their authenticity or possible motive. However, investigators did not rule out the possibility that the same source may be tied to recent leaks about Hatton’s amended will and the DNA tests requested by his parents.
As speculation intensifies, friends of the widow insist she is “focused only on protecting her baby”, refusing to comment publicly about the threats or the ongoing family rift.
“She’s been through enough,” said one confidant. “But if what’s being hinted at is true, it could change everything — not just for her, but for Ricky’s legacy.”
