Ricky Hatton tried to kill himself while battling depression

"I was coming off the rails with my drinking and that led to drugs. It was like a runaway train."

Former two-weight world champion Ricky Hatton has revealed he tried to kill himself several times during his battle with depression.

Hatton admitted there was a huge gap in his life after retiring from a boxing career that saw him take on the likes of Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao in front of his army of supporters in Las Vegas.
