Ricky Hatton, boxing legend, showman and 'diamond geezer' was brave enough to show weakness.

He inspired so many people through his incredible sporting achievements but also through his honesty and openess about his mental health struggles.

His sad death has prompted a huge outpouring of love from across Greater Manchester and beyond.

As news of his passing spread stories emerged about the lives Ricky touched and his quiet support for so many people and good causes.

His incredible support for mental health charities Andy's Man Club and CALM were well known and we want to raise money for these charities, which were so close to his heart, as a special tribute to him.

We hope this will help to continue the cultural change that Ricky led and continue to empower men who are struggling to ask for help and support as they navigate mental health issues without shame.
