Ben Shephard paid an emotional tribute to his “hero” Ricky Hatton, who died on Sunday (14 September).
Speaking on This Morning on Monday (15 September), the presenter remembered the 46-year-old boxing legend as an "absolute lion” who he was “lucky enough to spend some time with”.
“He’d been a hero of mine for years, I loved my boxing and no one fought like Ricky Hatton,” he said, describing him as someone who was “so humble” and who “wore their heart on their slave”.
