Honouring Ricky’s Legacy
The Ricky Hatton Foundation was established following Ricky’s passing, with a simple but important purpose: to create a lasting legacy worthy of the extraordinary impact he had on so many lives.
Ricky was open and honest about his own struggles with mental health. His courage in speaking about these challenges gave others the strength to share their own battles. In his memory, we are determined to channel our sadness into something powerful and positive: creating a lasting legacy for the People’s Champion.
The Ricky Hatton Foundation
Ricky loved people, loved to talk, and above all, loved helping others. The Ricky Hatton Foundation will carry that spirit forward — supporting those facing their own fights with mental health challenges and ensuring that no one ever has to face those battles alone.
Our mission will be to:
Raise awareness of mental health challenges
Remove the stigma that prevents people from speaking up
Educate and support through community programmes, outreach, and practical resources
Be there, in the corner of those struggling with their mental health, so they know that no one has to fight this alone
Using the vehicle of sport is at the heart of our work. Just as Ricky used boxing to inspire people, the Foundation will use the ability of boxing, football, and other sports to bring people together, spark conversation, raise funds and drive positive change.
We thank everyone from the world of boxing and sport who continue to reach out and offer their support.
