Boxing legend Ricky Hatton has been found dead aged 46.
The Stockport-born boxing world champion was found dead at his home in Greater Manchester.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed that a body had been found, and the death is not being treated as suspicious.

Hatton had previously spoken about his struggles with mental health and addiction, and survived suicide attempts.
During his boxing career, Hatton won multiple world championships and UK titles.
He was named Fighter of the Year in 2005.
