Summary
As 'The Voice of Boxing' delivered Ricky Hatton's eulogy, Adam Smith's opening words echoed through Manchester Cathedral and across the country. Ricky Hatton's death stunned the world in a way few sporting losses ever have. Tribute after tribute poured in, from the lads on the estates to the A-listers on the red carpets. Everybody loved Ricky. Everybody felt they had lost someone who belonged to them. Ricky Hatton was their voice, their joy, their fighter.
Written with the approval of Ricky's family, Adam Smith tells his extraordinary story in full. From Ricky's early career highlights and his iconic Blue Moon ring walks to his title bouts and fight nights in Las Vegas, as well as his struggles after retirement, his life is captured in vivid detail. Adam was one of Ricky's closest friends and was with him from the very beginning - at ringside, backstage, in bars, in cars, in takeaways and late-night hotel corridors, through all the triumphs, meltdowns, laughter, heartbreak and healing. Adam didn't just tell Ricky's story on television, he lived it with him. His laugh. His energy. His compassion. His heart. All of it lives on in these pages.
Raw and unflinchingly honest, this is a story of a deeply personal friendship forged through boxing and a powerful love letter to one of Britain's most beloved sporting icons.©2026 Adam Smith (P)2026 Orion Publishing Group Limited
