Who is Ricky Hatton’s former flame Claire Sweeney?

Recently, the news of British boxing icon Ricky Hatton’s death at the age of 46 shocked the world of sports. Many fans are now focusing on the late boxer’s personal life. Hatton had been in a relationship with actress Claire Sweeney, which sparked a lot of interest among fans.

Sweeney and Hatton had known each other for a long time before they formed a romantic bond. The duo reportedly hit it off during their encounter on ITV’s ‘Dancing on Ice’ in early 2024. They vacationed together in Tenerife in May 2024 and announced they were dating soon after, but their relationship ended in September of that year.

According to a source, Sweeney and Hatton remained friendly after the breakup, deciding they were better off as friends. The reason for their split, as reported by insiders, was the differences in their lifestyles. Sweeney’s life was primarily focused on her work and career, while Hatton preferred to lead a more laid-back life.

Prior to Sweeney, Hatton was in a relationship with beautician Angela Blemmings. Despite their separation a few years ago, Blemmings stayed within Hatton’s social circle. Hatton has been known to value his family ties, a trait that became evident as he battled mental health issues.

Hatton often found solace in Tenerife, which he said felt more home-like to him than Manchester. As a boxer, Hatton, also known as ‘The Hitman’, had a relentless style in the ring. Outside of it, he was open about his triumphs and struggles, making his death all the more impactful for his fan base.
