TYSON FURY : 'A brilliant, heartfelt tribute to Ricky' WAYNE ROONEY : 'Perfectly captures who Ricky was and what he meant to people across the UK' FRANK WARREN : 'Adam's book is fearless in capturing the true essence of Ricky's spirit' With a foreword from Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff, this is a powerful love letter to Ricky Hatton, one of Britain's most beloved sporting icons, and the story of a deep friendship forged through boxing. Written with the support of Ricky Hatton's friends and family, Adam Smith tells his extraordinary story in full. From Ricky's early career highlights and his iconic Blue Moon ring walks to his title bouts and fight nights in Las Vegas, as well as his struggles after retirement, his life is captured in vivid detail through Adam's eyes. Adam was one of Ricky's closest friends and was with him from the very beginning - at ringside, backstage, in bars, cars, takeaways and late-night hotel corridors, through all the triumphs, meltdowns, laughter, heartbreak and healing. He writes movingly about how it was Ricky who helped him through his own battle with cancer, providing him with the strength and support he needed to recover. Adam didn't just tell Ricky's story on television, he lived it with him. His laugh. His energy.

His compassion. His heart. All of it lives on in these pages.
