Ricky Hatton in shocking cocaine scandal

Boxing (not) clever

Ricky Hatton has allegedly been caught by the News Of The World snorting a load of cocaine during a 10-hour drink and drugs binge and we're about as shocked as the time they exposed Kerry Katona. But at least Hatton's footage was slightly less seedy as it wasn't being filmed by his wife while he did it in the bathroom with the kids downstairs ...

The News Of The World is alleging that Hatton hid cocaine in his shoe before snorting "line after line" in a Manchester hotel room with fellow female fighter Emma Bowe, who witnessed it and has told the tabloid:

"He laid out three huge lines, really industrial quantities. He went to the dressing table and cut them up with a credit card, really fat lines of coke.

"Then he rolled up a £20 note, put it up his nose and snorted up three lines of cocaine one after the other."

She added:

"I'm only talking about this because Ricky is a danger to himself. If he carries on like this he'll kill himself.

"I'm really, really worried for him, especially if he tries to make a comeback in the ring as he's hinted - he could have a heart attack."

Not to mention the fact he already looks about 45, despite being only 31...

Bowe then claimed she watched him drink several shots of Sambuca, 11 pints of Guinness, four shots of vodka and two glasses of wine.

Hmmm, he might want to put that comeback on hold...

Watch Hatton's 'cocaine shame' here!

The saddest part of this 'story' is that he hid the gak in his shoe. I dunno. I think we're getting to the point where an exclusive will be where a boxer DOESN'T take cocaine. They're all fucking at it. I know a boxer who takes it just to be on the level and even then he's borderline. How do you think they manage to take all those blows? Call me old-fashioned but boxing hurts. You'd need an anaesthetic like coke just to absorb the pain.

Did it make him interesting? I caught a bit of his 'chatshow' on some tinpot channel once - It was a pack of twats in a studio sat round a TV, on which Hatton's gormless mug could be seen like some sort of IQ vortex. Considering it was his show, it involved very little of him talking, and a lot of everyone else doing all the work and occasionally asking him to emit some sort of grunt to confirm he wasn't dead. It was like some kind of soul-crushing hospital-bedside birthday party for someone in a coma.

What a fucking load of mugs boxers are today, they lose one fight and thats it for most of them professionaly. Too many egos thinking they are invincible and when they get brought down to reality once they never recover from the shock and now if he ever does come back all he will be is a journeyman for a few paychecks.
