A year after boxer Ricky Hatton's death, his family say they have seen no sign of his reported £40 million fortune and are waiting for answers about the distribution of his estate.

More than a year after former world champion boxer Ricky Hatton's death in September 2025, his family have expressed concern over the distribution of his estate. The Mirror reports that Hatton, known as 'The Hitman', was preparing for a comeback bout at the time of his death. His celebrated career and business ventures led to reports that he was worth around £40 million.

In the absence of a will, as far as his parents and eldest son Campbell understand, the family are still waiting for answers on when the money will be distributed. Campbell, 25, a former boxer himself, has questioned why he cannot obtain information about the process after asking for clarification on when his father's estate will be shared between him and his two half-sisters. The Mirror reports that Ray Hatton said his grandson is not demanding immediate payments but simply seeking answers.

Hatton's mother Carol has described the lack of transparency given to Campbell as 'inhumane'. The family's frustration centres on what they see as inadequate communication from those handling the estate, rather than disputes over the inheritance itself.
