In a stunning twist that has sent shockwaves through the sports world, investigators have confirmed the discovery of a hidden safe behind the bedroom wall of late boxing legend Ricky Hatton’s Manchester home.
According to exclusive information obtained by The Daily Chronicle, the concealed safe was unearthed during a routine re-examination of the property earlier this week. Detectives described the find as “highly unexpected and potentially explosive.”
“It was hidden behind a false panel, secured with an advanced locking mechanism,” said a senior investigator familiar with the case. “The contents suggest Hatton was aware of information that certain individuals in the boxing world would not want exposed.”
Sources close to the investigation revealed that the safe contained several confidential documents, handwritten notes, and what appears to be a list of undisclosed financial transactions linked to prominent figures in international boxing.
Authorities have reportedly handed the materials over to forensic document experts for authentication. Early reports indicate that the documents detail potential corruption, secret agreements, and undisclosed dealings that could implicate high-ranking officials and insiders in the sport.
“If these documents are verified, they could fundamentally change how we understand some of the biggest fights and financial dealings in modern boxing history,” said a source inside the investigation unit.
Hatton’s family has been informed of the discovery and are said to be “stunned and deeply concerned” about the implications. Close friends of the late champion described him as “a man who carried more secrets than anyone ever realized.”
Detectives are now investigating whether the information in the safe could be linked to the circumstances surrounding Hatton’s sudden and mysterious death, which has continued to raise questions within both his family and the sporting community.
The Boxing Federation has declined to comment pending official verification of the documents, but insiders warn that the revelations could “send tremors through the entire boxing industry.”
