A stunning new twist has rocked the Hatton family as Ricky Hatton’s younger brother has come forward with explosive allegations — claiming he was offered money to remain silent about a secret meeting between the late boxer’s widow and their father, held just weeks before Ricky’s sudden death.
According to the brother’s statement, the meeting took place at a private Manchester restaurant, away from the public eye. “I was told not to talk about it — that it was ‘family business,’” he revealed. “But after everything that’s come out, I couldn’t keep it to myself anymore.”
The revelation comes amid intense speculation surrounding the DNA test results that allegedly challenged the paternity of the child Hatton’s widow is expecting. Both the widow and the family patriarch have publicly denied the claims, calling them “false, invasive, and deeply painful.”
Still, insiders insist the atmosphere inside the Hatton family has grown increasingly fractured. “There’s mistrust everywhere now,” said one close friend. “Everyone’s pointing fingers, and no one knows who to believe.”
Legal representatives for the Hatton estate have declined to comment on the alleged payment but confirmed that new financial transfers made in the final month of Ricky’s life are now being reviewed as part of the ongoing probate investigation.
For now, the shocking allegation — that silence within the family may have been bought — adds yet another dark layer to an already complex and emotional story.
As questions mount about the true nature of that secret meeting, one thing is certain: the truth about Ricky Hatton’s final weeks may be far more complicated than anyone imagined.
