Former World Champion Ricky Hatton 'filmed snorting cocaine in 10-hour drink and drugs binge' -- Daily Mail

Former boxing world champion Ricky Hatton has been filmed apparently taking cocaine in a ten-hour drink and drugs binge.

Hatton, an MBE, was secretly recorded snorting seven lines of the illegal drug in a Manchester hotel room.

The 31-year-old is clearly seen taking a wrap from his shoe, pouring the white powder it contains onto a table top, then snorting the contents.

Cocaine Nation: How the White Trade Took Over the WorldHatton, who lives with his fiance Jennifer Dooley in the city, was filmed for the News Of The World two weeks ago by his friend Emma Bowe, 29.

Irish national senior women's boxing champion Bowe told the tabloid she flew from Dublin to Manchester to attend a cage fighting event with Hatton.

She claimed he spent the night in her hotel room, where she said she witnessed him snorting cocaine.

'He laid out three huge lines, really industrial quantities,' Bowe said. 'I watched him all the time.

'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 also claims she witnessed Hatton drank several shots of Sambuca, 11 pints of Guinness, four shots of vodka and two glasses of wine.

The claims are sure to humiliate Hatton, who was said to be planning a comeback and renewed his boxing licence in July.

Having made more than £30million in his boxing career, father-of-one Hatton does not need the money.

But Britain’s most popular boxer was said to be embarrassed by the manner of his last defeat, a two-round knockout against Manny Pacquiao in Vegas last year.
