In a revelation that’s sending shockwaves through both the boxing world and the true crime community, the preliminary autopsy of Ricky Hatton has uncovered severe internal bleeding that experts say cannot be explained by a simple fall.
According to an internal coroner’s report obtained by The Daily Chronicle, Hatton’s injuries included multiple contusions across his ribcage and abdomen, along with a ruptured spleen — findings that don’t align with the original theory that he accidentally fell in his home gym.
“These are not the kind of injuries you get from tripping or losing your balance,” a forensic specialist familiar with the case said. “We’re looking at blunt force trauma — consistent with repeated strikes from a heavy object or someone’s fists.”
The coroner’s office has refused to issue an official statement, but insiders describe the report as “deeply troubling” and say it has prompted a full-scale review of the incident, with homicide detectives now quietly re-examining every angle.
Even more chilling, there were no defensive wounds on Hatton’s hands, suggesting he may have been caught off guard — or attacked by someone he trusted.
One source close to the investigation revealed that blood spatter patterns found on nearby equipment didn’t match the fall trajectory initially reported by authorities.
Instead, the evidence points to a struggle — short, violent, and personal.
“It’s not adding up,” said a retired detective reviewing the case. “The internal injuries tell one story, but the scene tells another. Someone’s lying.”
Neighbors have come forward claiming they heard “a loud argument” and “something heavy hitting metal” the night before Hatton’s body was discovered.
Police have neither confirmed nor denied these reports but have since returned to the scene for additional forensic testing.
Adding fuel to the fire, a leaked autopsy image — allegedly showing deep bruising on Hatton’s lower back — began circulating on private message boards late last night, sparking outrage and speculation that a cover-up may be underway.
The revelation has reignited online theories that Hatton’s death was not a tragic accident but a calculated act of violence, possibly tied to financial disputes, personal betrayal, or even criminal debt.
“If this was a fight, it wasn’t a fair one,” wrote one commenter on Reddit’s r/TrueCrime. “Someone wanted him silenced.”
Authorities now face mounting pressure to reopen the case as a homicide, while fans and family are demanding answers:
👉 Who was with Hatton that night? Why did the truth take this long to surface?
👉 And if this wasn’t an accident — who wanted him dead badly enough to make it look like one?
