Ricky Hatton, a boxer, has allayed concerns that he is using cocaine after a video showed white powder on his nose but he denies all accusations
The 44-year-old former world champion looked groggy and slurring while out on the town, but insists the powder is a permitted tobacco product. He makes jokes and profanities while riding in a car with friends, but it’s not apparent to whom or to what he is referring.

He says, “Tell you what, listen,” as the camera pans to him. “I’m an MBE – a Massive B***-End.” He repeats the joke after some more coarse conversation with friends in the car, remarking, “Good one. “Ricky Hatton MBE — Massive B*** End. Nice to see you.”
Early in February, according to sources, he was en route to Manchester’s Albert’s Schloss bar. Ricky doesn’t look well, so supporters will be concerned, a source claimed. After confessing to a cocaine addiction for a whole year in 2010, Ricky sought treatment.
His attorneys informed The Sun that the powder is a substance akin to snus that players frequently use as a stimulant and cigarette replacement. “It is freely accessible across the high street and supermarkets and subject to customary cigarette limitations,” they claimed.
Explained why there was no Ricky Hatton vs. Juan Manuel Marquez fights.
Juan Manuel Marquez versus Ricky Hatton would have been an exciting battle. However, TSG examines how near to reality the super-bout was. During the twilight of both boxing careers, Golden Boy Promotions pursued a huge match between two legendary boxers.
After Hatton’s knockout loss to Manny Pacquiao in 2009, Golden Boy moved to make the fight happen in 2010–2011. Hatton never expected to compete again after experiencing psychological problems in the wake of a crushing loss. However, it seems the “Hitman” was approached with an offer to face the Mexican icon.
According to sources, Ricky Hatton and Juan Manuel Marquez nearly had a fight. Both had suffered defeats to Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather. It almost came to pass. Since Ricky was temporarily out of commission and Marquez stepped up to welterweight, the battle could not happen eventually but imagine what a battle it would have been.
