Ricky Hatton’s family have issued a plea for action after the late boxer’s £40million estate “gone missing.”
According to Express UK, the much-loved sportsman took his own life in September 2025, but 13 months on, the Hatton family have been left “confused and angry” with the process of gaining access to his estate.
It is claimed Hatton was worth around £40m, with the Mancunian believed to have never written a will, which has complicated proceedings following his death.
His eldest son Campbell has opened up about the situation, having been concerned by the lack of transparency.
The 25-year-old told the Daily Mail, “The lack of answers is concerning. I’ve asked the questions and I can’t see why I’m not getting the information.”
Meanwhile, dad Ray said, “Campbell isn’t grabbing at money, he’s not saying, ‘Give me and my sisters £5m each’. He just wants to know what is going on and these people are telling him nothing. Why?”
The location of Hatton’s assets is complicated. It is said that the majority of Ricky’s estate, from his bank accounts, investments and companies, is contained within the Dorothy Hatton Discretionary Trust.
The trust is controlled by Hatton’s former secretary, Catherine Lomas, and his former legal adviser, Paul Dodds.
But Campbell told the outlet that they have now blocked his phone calls, and have since referred his correspondence to a Newcastle-based law firm, Muckle.
Lomas has told Daily Mail in an email, “We are the trustees of the Dorothy Hatton Discretionary Trust. It would not be appropriate for us to discuss the administration of that trust with you as it is a private matter. However, we take our responsibilities very seriously and have been and remain professionally advised. We do not accept the criticism levelled by your questions.”
Campbell now has a solicitor of his own working on the situation, but he is yet to receive the answers he remains desperate for.
