Boxing icon Manny Pacquiao mourned the passing of his former opponent and fellow Hall of Famer Ricky Hatton, who was found dead at his Greater Manchester home Sunday at the age of 46.
The cause of Hatton’s death has yet to be confirmed.
Pacquiao, who famously knocked out Hatton in the second round of their 2009 Las Vegas bout, remembered him as a “great fighter, brave man, and kind soul.”
Hatton retired in 2012 but had planned a comeback fight in Dubai this December, which will no longer push through.
Pacquiao extended prayers and condolences to Hatton’s family, honoring his legacy both inside and outside the ring.
