Can’t explain how much I’m going to miss the laughs we had and all the good times which I will remember forever. “Just can’t believe we won’t have anymore. Love you dad.”Ricky trained Cambpell who fought in 19 professional bouts before retiring earlier this year.Hatton senior praised his boy when he made the decision to hang up his gloves in July, while also revealing more heartbreak for the youngster.“No, Campbell won’t fight again,” Hatton said. “As you know, he didn’t have much amateur experience.“He gave it a go in the amateurs, and then he went pro and gave it a go. He fought for the Area title and got beaten. I thought he lost it to be fair.“But then he fought the same lad straight away after, I thought he won the second one; they were both very close fights.Hatton trained his son before announcing his retirement in July at the age of 24“But he lost a little bit of his mojo, and then a few things went wrong. Sadly, he lost one of his best friends, Justin, who passed away at 27 years of age.“He went through a bit for a time, and he was in the gym, and his heart wasn’t in it.“I said, ‘Listen son, you should be very proud of yourself, you have given it a go, but if you have lost your mojo, you need to get out’.“You can’t play boxing, you can play any other sport. So I advised him, and now he is doing solar panels.”Hatton had two other children, daughters named Millie and Fearne, mothered by Jennifer Dooley.Discussing his relationship with his son in 2012, Hatton said: “Being a world champion and being the best is what I work for but none of it compares to being a dad.Campbell was born in 2001 while Ricky was at the peak of his 43-fight winning run“Having Campbell as my son is – and always will be – my biggest-ever achievement.“I love boxing and I’m so proud of everything that I’ve achieved but Campbell is my pride and joy.“He is a complete clone of me. When I introduce people to him, they do a double-take because we’re so alike.“He’s so cute. Everything I do, I do for him. Every fight, I have him in my mind – if I can do more, it will make the quality of Campbell’s life better.”What has the Hatton family said?A joint statement in the days following their tragic loss, the family said: “Richard was so much more than a world champion. To us, he was simply ‘Richard’, our son. A loving father, grandfather, and brother, and a true friend to many.“He had a heart as big as his smile, and his kindness, humour and loyalty touched everyone who was lucky enough to know him.Hatton had 30,000 Brits with him in Vegas when he took on Mayweather in 2007 and always took a huge following with him wherever he foughtGetty Images - Getty“To the wider world, Richard will always be remembered as one of boxing’s greatest champions – a man who gave everything inside the ring and wore his heart on his sleeve outside of it.“He inspired generations with his fighting spirit, his humility, and his love for the sport. But beyond the titles, the nights to remember, and the roar of the crowd, he remained the same down-to-earth Richard who never forgot where he came from.“As a family, our loss is immeasurable, and words cannot truly capture the pain we feel. Yet in the midst of our grief, we have been deeply moved by the overwhelming outpouring of love and support.“It has been a source of great comfort to see just how many lives Richard touched, and how widely he was admired and respected.“At this time, we kindly ask for privacy as we come to terms with life without him. In the days and weeks ahead, we will take strength from one another and from the knowledge that Richard’s legacy – both in boxing and as a man – will continue to live on.“Richard’s memory will forever remain in our hearts, in the hearts of his fans, and in the sport he loved so dearly.”Ricky Hatton's career achievementTitles/AwardsLineal/Ring Magazine Light Welterweight Championship (2005 – 2009, 5 defences)IBF Light Welterweight Title (2005 – 2007, 2 defences)WBA Super Lightweight Title (2005 – 2006, 0 defences)WBA Welterweight Title (2006, 0 defences)British Super Lightweight Title (2000)2005 Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the YearNotable winsKostya Tszyu RTD11 – June 2005Jose Luis Castillo KO4 – June 2007Paulie Malignaggi TKO11 – November 2008Luis Collazo UD – May 2006Carlos Maussa – KO9 – November 2005
