Ricky Hatton's family say they have no answers on his estate a year after his death

Mixed · 2Ricky Hatton's parents, Ray and Carol, and his eldest son Campbell say they are still waiting for clarity over the former world champion's estate more than a year after his death. 1 2 Left · 1Hatton was found dead at his home on 14 September 2025; he had been preparing for a comeback bout against Eisa Al Dah in Dubai. 1 Left · 1Reports had put his worth at around £40 million, but the Mirror says that, in the absence of a will as far as the family understand, they do not know when the money will be distributed. 1

Left · 1Campbell, 25, a former boxer, says he has asked when the estate will be shared between him and his two half-sisters and cannot see why he is not getting the information; he told the Daily Mail "The lack of answers is concerning". 1 Left · 1The Mirror reports it is understood the estate is held in the Dorothy Hatton Discretionary Trust, controlled by Hatton's former secretary Catherine Lomas and former legal adviser Paul Dodds. 1 Left · 1Campbell claims his phone calls have been blocked and that the trust referred his correspondence to the law firm Muckle; he has hired his own solicitor. 1

Left · 1Carol Hatton said the lack of transparency towards Campbell approached "inhumane", and Ray said Campbell is not "grabbing at money" but wants to know what is going on. 1 Left · 1Ray Hatton said the parents want nothing from the estate, though Carol might like his MBE, and that he has heard Hatton had bridging loans on properties by the time he died, which he questions. 1 Left · 1The Mirror states there is no suggestion of wrongdoing by Lomas or Dodds. 1

Right · 1The Daily Mail's piece, based on an interview with the parents, also carries what it calls Hatton's final warning about being "used as a cash cow". 2
