Ricky Hatton's son opens up on how his family are coping, one month after he died, on the morning of inquest into his death

Campbell Hatton has paid tribute to his late father Ricky and provided an update on how his family are coping in the aftermath of his tragic passing. 

Hatton passed away at the age of 46 last month after being discovered at his home. He was found having failed to turn up at the gym and at a fight he was expected to watch. His death, which has rocked the sporting world, is not being treated as suspicious. 

Thousands turned up to say farewell to the boxing icon last Friday when his funeral was held at Manchester Cathedral and an inquest into his death begins today.

And, speaking to Good Morning Britain, Ricky's son Campbell reflected on recent events.

'Yeah it's been a bit of a whirlwind the last few weeks,' he said. 'Obviously, we've been leading up to the funeral, which was unbelievable to see the amount of love everyone had for my dad. 

'There were thousands in the streets, and there was a lot of comfort to take from that. It has been very up and down, really, but just as a family, we're trying to take each day at a time, really.'

'He always said he was more proud of his fanbase than all the belts and his titles. Surprised is probably the wrong word because it was obvious how much he was loved by the amount of people that followed him all over the world to watch him box.

'To actually see everyone in the streets, it was a very long route that we went down, and there was never a point where the streets weren't full. To actually see it in terms of the amount of people, it was surreal really.'
