WAYNE ROONEY: 'Perfectly captures who Ricky was and what he meant to people across the UK'
FRANK WARREN: 'Adam's book is fearless in capturing the true essence of Ricky's spirit'
With a foreword from Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff, this is a powerful love letter to Ricky Hatton, one of Britain's most beloved sporting icons, and the story of a deep friendship forged through boxing.
Written with the support of Ricky Hatton's friends and family, Adam Smith tells his extraordinary story in full. From Ricky's early career highlights and his iconic Blue Moon ring walks to his title bouts and fight nights in Las Vegas, as well as his struggles after retirement, his life is captured in vivid detail through Adam's eyes.
Adam was one of Ricky's closest friends and was with him from the very beginning - at ringside, backstage, in bars, cars, takeaways and late-night hotel corridors, through all the triumphs, meltdowns, laughter, heartbreak and healing. He writes movingly about how it was Ricky who helped him through his own battle with cancer, providing him with the strength and support he needed to recover. Adam didn't just tell Ricky's story on television, he lived it with him. His laugh. His energy. His compassion. His heart.
All of it lives on in these pages.

Recenzii
Ricky Hatton was a working-class hero, adored by everyone in Manchester. Adam's book perfectly captures who he was and what he meant to people across the UK.
A brilliant, heartfelt tribute to Ricky.
Ricky was an unbelievable entertainer and a fearless fighter - Adam's book is just as fearless in capturing the true essence of Ricky's spirit.
Besides Ali and Leonard, Ricky was the most thrilling boxer there has been. He was also great company and a great laugh - and Adam's book is a great read.
Ricky left a great legacy that will never be forgotten, Adam's book helps to ensure that.
Pulls back the curtain on the legend that was - or in fact is - Richard John Hatton... This was truly a book I couldn't put down. And, for me the mark of a quality piece of writing, is I could hear Adam Smith's distinctive voice reading each page to me... Hatton's light will never go out as long as pugilists are challenging each other in the squared circle and beyond. And this book is the ultimate instrument to keeping that important memory alive.
Smith writes smoothly and his narrative flows well. He faithfully catalogs the many good things about Hatton as a person and a fighter. And he talks about the problems that surfaced after Ricky's greatest victory (an eleventh-round stoppage of Kostya Tszyu) and most devastating loss (a two-round destruction at the hands of Manny Pacquiao)... That's good, honest writing.
New Hatton book is a knockout... It is not so much a biography as a memoir of affection and admiration by Ricky's friend, the renowned broadcaster Adam Smith. And all the more tugging at the heart-strings for that.
