In a story that has sent shockwaves through both the boxing world and British media, dozens of private recordings from Ricky Hatton’s personal phone have been leaked online, revealing intimate and highly confidential conversations that investigators say could completely reshape the understanding of the late champion’s final months.
The recordings — reportedly taken between December 2023 and June 2024, just weeks before Hatton’s sudden death — contain hours of voice messages, calls, and private memos between the boxing legend and several close family members. Sources close to the investigation confirm that the content points to a deep family conflict that had been hidden from the public for years.
“These are not just casual conversations,” a senior official familiar with the data leak told The Telegraph. “They include discussions about finances, trust, and a major dispute regarding Ricky’s estate. One of the voices clearly admits to actions that could be interpreted as betrayal.”
Authorities have not yet confirmed who leaked the recordings, but early analysis suggests that the files were extracted from a secure backup of Hatton’s iCloud account, accessed through a secondary device. Digital forensic teams are now tracing the origins of the breach, which they described as “sophisticated and intentional.”
Family members were said to be “stunned and heartbroken” after hearing what the recordings contained. According to insiders, one particularly explosive audio clip features a close relative speaking about “what needed to be done” to gain access to part of Hatton’s assets — language investigators now believe could point to premeditated deception.
“This is the first time we’ve heard anything like this on record,” the insider added. “The person speaking was someone Ricky trusted completely.”
As detectives continue to analyze the full set of recordings, speculation is mounting across social media about the identity of the family member involved. While police have not released any names, the investigation has reportedly narrowed its focus to one individual who had direct access to Hatton’s home and financial documents in the weeks before his passing.
The Hatton family has requested privacy and legal intervention to stop further distribution of the leaked files, calling the incident “a devastating violation of both trust and grief.”
Still, investigators insist that the contents could “finally reveal the truth behind the tensions” surrounding Hatton’s final days — and expose who, within his own circle, may have played a role in betraying him.
