Great Manchester police said death is not considered suspicious.

Ricky Hatton Death: Amir Khan Tax
“Today we have lost not only one of the great boxers of Britain, but a friend, a mentor, a warrior,” said the former light and light world champion, Amir Khan.
“As fighters, we tell ourselves that we are strong: we train, we sweat, we take, we get up. But sometimes the hardest struggle goes silent, in the mind.
“Mental health is not weak. It is part of being human. And we have to speak.
“Ricky, thank you for everything. For your fights, your moments of glory, your grain. Thank you for pushing us, showing us what is possible.
“For everyone who reads this: If you hurt or fight, you are not alone. Talk. Arrive -you. Because we need more light, more compassion, more understanding.
“Rest well, Ricky. You will always have your place in the ring of our memories.”
