Another high-profile boxer has made the headlines in a bad way, as News of the World released a video of former long time boxing welterweight champ, Ricky Hatton snorting cocaine:

The shameful images of 31-year-old national hero Ricky, nicknamed The Hitman for his ring victories, were captured at a Manchester hotel two weeks ago.

And this was one bout in which the two-times world welterweight supremo got really hammered – knocked out by a marathon 10-hour bender including SEVEN lines of coke in THREE separate drug sessions, 11 pints of Guinness, four vodkas, two glasses of wine and several Sambucas.

Aside from this drug scandal, Hatton was also rumored to have been knocked out in a bar fight after having an argument over a fruit machine.
