The luxury mansion belonging to late boxing legend Ricky Hatton has finally been sold for £1.5 million, £350,000 below its original asking price, according to Land Registry documents cited by the Daily Mail. The five-bedroom detached property in Gee Cross, Greater Manchester, was initially listed for £1.85 million. However, following Hatton’s death last September, the home was taken off the market before being relisted at a series of reduced prices. It was eventually sold earlier this year for £1.5 million.

Hatton, a former light-welterweight and welterweight world champion, was found dead at the property in September 2025, aged 46. His body was discovered in the games room by his manager Paul Speak. The house had reportedly been placed on the market for £1.85 million shortly before his death. Following the tragedy, the sale was paused before the property returned to the market at £1.75 million. The asking price was subsequently reduced to £1.65 million before the eventual £1.5 million sale. Despite the circumstances surrounding the property, the estate agent’s listing made no reference to Hatton’s death. Instead, it described the residence as a “landmark modern residence offering luxury, space and unrivalled lifestyle features”.

The grounds reportedly featured a traditional telephone box as well as seats from the club’s former Maine Road stadium. The property also offered expansive landscaped gardens with views of the surrounding greenbelt.
