In an explosive interview that has rocked fans worldwide, a close friend of the former boxing champion has stepped forward, claiming Hatton looked visibly shaken, anxious, and terrified in the hours leading up to his death.
“I’d never seen him like that before,” the unnamed witness told reporters. “He wasn’t the confident Ricky we all knew. It was as if he was running from something — or someone. He kept looking over his shoulder, and he barely slept that night.”

Police have refused to comment on the witness statement, but insiders suggest detectives are now exploring the possibility that Hatton’s death may not have been as straightforward as originally believed.
Fans, meanwhile, are stunned by the revelation. Social media has erupted with theories ranging from hidden debts and dangerous associations to personal demons and betrayals from within his inner circle.
