Everything you need to know about Hatton

This brutally honest and deeply personal documentary film gives viewers insight into one of the world’s most beloved boxers – Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton.
This documentary, featuring unprecedented access to The Hitman himself and never-before-seen archive footage, follows his journey from the Hattersley estate near Manchester to headlining in Las Vegas – offering an emotional insight into the life of a remarkable sports figure.
Hatton was destined for greatness from the moment he turned professional and quickly rose to the top of his sport. Loved by fans, he was a formidable force in the ring but the eventual pain of defeat would become unbearable. Triumph and pride gave way to depression, addiction and shame and his relationships with those closest to him fell apart.
A near decade-long estrangement from his family and separation from his coach drove Ricky to his lowest point. Raw and compelling, this documentary tells a cautionary yet inspirational tale of a unique, working-class hero.
