The Hitman - Ricky Hatton

The Hitman is the story of just how Ricky Hatton became one of the best fighters on the planet. Adored by a loyal army of fans, Ricky is a boxing hero to warrant the adulation: a hard-grafting ex-carpet fitter with no time for the usual posturing and hype, he inspires by his sheer guts and drive.

After four years of defending the WBU crown with frequent displays of devastating body punching, Ricky finally achieved greatness fighting the legendary Kostya Tszyu – a night that has already gone down as one of the greatest in British boxing history.

Ricky candidly lifts the lid on the people and events that have defined his career – including his eventual falling out with Frank Warren – and tells of the wild nights out away from the ring, all with his trademark mix of wicked humour and down-to-earth modesty.
