Former world champion boxer Ricky Hatton has died at age 46, multiple European media outlets reported Sunday.
Police confirmed they found the body of a 46-year-old male at a home in the town of Hyde, about 200 miles north of London, but did not confirm Hatton's death.
A statement from Greater Manchester Police said the death of the man is not considered to be due to "any suspicious circumstances."
Hatton held the light-welterweight and welterweight titles and a career record of 45-3 and 32 knockouts.
"A true champion, an indomitable spirit, and a legend of the sport. Your legacy will live on in every fight and in the hearts of boxing fans around the world," WBA Boxing said in a statement.
He was undefeated on Dec. 8, 2007, when he met Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas and lost by TKO
