In a stunning new revelation, investigators have uncovered a private email chain between Ricky Hatton’s widow and his longtime legal adviser, allegedly detailing plans to transfer a significant portion of the boxer’s estate just weeks before his untimely death.
According to confidential sources close to the inquiry, the emails were discovered during a forensic audit of Hatton’s digital records and marked “strictly confidential.” The correspondence outlines a series of proposed financial adjustments that would have redirected assets, including overseas holdings and investments, into new accounts bearing only the widow’s name.
“The tone of the emails was very strategic,” an insider revealed. “They clearly show that major estate changes were being discussed without Ricky’s direct input — or possibly without his full knowledge.”
Family members were reportedly blindsided when informed of the discovery, calling it “a betrayal of trust and timing.” Hatton’s parents have since demanded a full investigation into the legality of any estate modifications made during that period.
Legal experts are now reviewing whether the discussed transfers were ever finalized and if they might have influenced the will’s controversial amendments made shortly before the boxer’s death.
Representatives for the widow have declined to comment, citing privacy concerns, while the lawyer named in the emails has not responded to requests for clarification.
As the digital investigation continues, sources say the contents of these messages could reshape the understanding of Hatton’s final days — and potentially expose a hidden motive behind the sudden estate changes that left his family reeling.
