Ricky Hatton's Parents Question Missing Fortune

A year after the death of boxer Ricky Hatton, his parents, Ray and Carol Hatton, have expressed concerns about his reported £40 million fortune, stating they have seen no evidence of it. The couple revealed their unease and recalled their son's past worries about being "used as a cash cow."

The sentiment was highlighted by the presence of a small, nine-inch clay statue of their son at their home, a poignant reminder of the boxer whose financial standing remains a mystery to them.

Hatton, a former two-weight world champion, retired from professional boxing in 2011. He has been open about his struggles with depression, alcohol, and weight gain following his career.

His parents' comments come amidst ongoing speculation about his estate and financial affairs in the year since his passing.
