MANNY Pacquiao has paid tribute to “a great fighter” and “a brave and kind man” following the death of his former opponent Ricky Hatton.

Pacquiao, whose stunning second-round knockout of ‘The Hitman’ in Las Vegas in 2009 marked the start of Hatton’s decline at elite level, said he felt “blessed to have been part of his wonderful journey’.

The Filipino former eight-division world champion posted on social media: “I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Ricky Hatton. He was not only a great fighter inside the ring but also a brave and kind man in life.

“We shared some unforgettable moments in boxing history and I will always honor the respect and sportsmanship he showed. Ricky fought bravely, not just in the ring, but in his journey through life.
