In a revelation that has left both investigators and fans stunned, Ricky Hatton’s family has reportedly received an anonymous envelope mailed from the South of England containing a child’s birth certificate — with the late boxing champion’s name shockingly listed as the father.
The mysterious letter, postmarked from Hampshire, arrived without a return address and included only the official certificate and a brief handwritten note reading, “He always knew.”
According to family insiders, the discovery has ignited a storm of emotion within the Hatton household. “It broke everyone,” said one source close to the family. “No one could believe what they were seeing — least of all his widow.”
What devastated her even more, however, was the shocking identity of the boy’s mother. While police have not confirmed her name publicly, multiple sources claim she was a woman closely associated with Hatton’s professional circle — someone who had remained in contact with him until his final weeks.
“The connection between them was deeper than anyone realized,” a family friend said. “When the widow found out who the mother was, she completely collapsed. It changed everything she thought she knew about her marriage.”
Authorities are now verifying the authenticity of the document, and DNA testing is reportedly underway to confirm whether the child is, in fact, Hatton’s biological son.
If proven true, the discovery could dramatically reshape the late boxer’s legacy — and reopen questions about his personal life and estate that his family had hoped were finally settled.
“This envelope has reopened old wounds,” said one insider. “And what’s inside might just rewrite the story of Ricky Hatton’s final years.”
