A blurb for Ricky’s speaking show, which has been touring the UK, reads: “Join British boxing legend Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton for an unforgettable evening of stories, laughter, and nostalgia as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of his iconic victory over Kostya Tszyu.
“Ricky will take to the stage to relive the memories of that unforgettable night, share insight into his career highs and lows, and reveal behind-the-scenes stories from his time in the ring.”
Tonight’s show in Hyde Town Hall falls on the 20th anniversary of Ricky’s famous clash with Kostya Tszyu.
Reflecting on the iconic fight on Instagram, Ricky said: “Can you believe today is the 20yr anniversary to the day of my greatest boxing win when I become undisputed light welterweight champion of the world when I defeated kostya tysu at the Manchester arena [sic].
“OMG how the years have flown by. Feel very proud to be celebrating it tonight at hyde town hall.
“Minutes from where I live & minutes from where I was born. Celebrating it with my people. Look forward to seeing everyone later. Ricky. X.”
Former light-welterweight and welterweight world champion Ricky appeared on Dancing On Ice last year.
He was partnered with professional skater Robin Johnstone but the pair were first to be eliminated.
Ricky starred on the ITV1 show alongside former Brookside star Claire Sweeney and they fell for each other romantically.
The couple dated for eight months before splitting in December 2024. They are said to remain good friends.
Meanwhile, last month Ricky showed off a new look after shaving his head.
The boxing ace had undergone the transformation to raise money for charity.
