Ex‑world boxing champion Ricky Hatton says he tried to kill himself on several occasions in a battle with depression.
Hatton who retired in 2012 says in some instances he would take the knife out and sit in the dark crying.
He had won the world light‑welterweight and welterweight titles.
Hatton was stripped off his licence to box in 2010 after admitting using cocaine and retired the next year before fighting once more.
He is now a promoter and trainer.
