Last Saturday, Tyson Fury returned to the ring against Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, winning by unanimous decision after 12 rounds in a comeback bout broadcast on Netflix. Watch the video to take a look behind the scenes making this iconic tribute fight kit for Tyson ‘Gypsy King’ Fury in honour of our mutual friend the great Ricky ‘Hitman’ Hatton. Tyson Fury’s Ricky Hatton tribute on fight night Coverage of the fight focused not only on Fury’s performance, but also on the emotion and meaning behind his ring-walk tribute to Ricky Hatton. For that moment, Tyson Fury wore a custom boxing kit designed and made by the Suzi Wong team as a tribute to Ricky Hatton. From the sky-blue detailing to the “Gypsy King” branding, the Manchester-inspired styling, the “3:16” detail, and the bold black-and-blue finish, every part of the look was built to honour one of British boxing’s most loved figures. In the build-up to the fight, Boxing News reported that Fury was planning a tribute to Hatton, including custom elements featuring Hatton’s logo and the sky-blue colouring associated with Manchester City, the club Hatton famously loved. On the night itself, Sky Sports reported that Fury walked out to Blue Moon and wore shorts in Hatton’s style, while Bad Left Hook described the entrance as a heartfelt nod to his late friend. That emotional connection is part of why the outfit landed so strongly. Ricky Hatton was not just a former world champion. He remained one of the most popular British fighters of his era, and his passing in 2025 was felt across boxing and far beyond it. Coverage around Fury’s ring walk repeatedly framed the tribute as touching, emotional and respectful. What people have been saying about the Ricky Hatton tribute Published coverage and reaction […]
