HATTON – The Movie

Sky original documentary film Hatton is a ninety-minute film that offers extraordinary access to boxing hero Ricky Hatton. The film explores his life in and outside of the ring, with honest words from ‘The Hitman’ himself, his closest friends, family and peers. This definitive portrait of a unique, working-class hero and one of the world’s most beloved boxers – Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton. With unseen archive footage, the film charts his journey from the Hattersley estate near Manchester to headlining on the strip in Las Vegas is an emotional insight into a brilliant sporting hero.

From the moment he turned professional, Ricky quickly rose to the pinnacle of his sport. Adored by the public, he was a raging force in the ring, but the eventual pain of defeat would become utterly unbearable. Triumph, and pride were replaced by depression, addiction, and shame. His courage was clear, but it hid a darkness that would overwhelm him. Raw and compelling, the documentary showcases this cautionary tale and inspirational story of a man forced to navigate a path through fragile relationships and broken dreams as he attempts to make sense of a life that appeared destined for a happy ending.
