Noel Gallagher To Appear In Ricky Hatton's New DVD

















He is the Liverpool man with the inside track on Ricky Hatton’s dramatic shot at boxing glory.

Director Mike Cockayne followed the rising star of British boxing around the world to make a film about his life.

The pair became good friends and now Mike, who runs Bold Street film company Integral Productions, has promised Hatton a night out in Liverpool.

Mike, 41, from the city centre, flew out to Las Vegas to film the record-breaking run-up to Hatton’s unsuccessful fight against undefeated US champion, Floyd Mayweather.

The footage will be added to his hit film, already a top selling DVD, and will be screened on ITV 1 in the new year.

He said: “I had a fantastic time making the film and it was a privilege getting such close insight into the life of someone like Ricky.

“The timing couldn’t have been better, with the big Mayweather fight taking place when the film came out.

Mike, who has directed music videos for Atomic Kitten and Happy Mondays, hopes his DVD will become the biggest selling boxing DVD ever.

It has already become a high-street bestseller on the back of promotion by Liverpool PR firm Fire Management, which is run by Mike’s wife Leisa Maloney.

“We also interviewed Amir Khan and Noel Gallagher for the film. Ricky is very well liked.

“One of my favourite parts is when we used a new technique so we could show the viewer what it’s like to get in the ring with Ricky and just what it s like to be hit by the Hitman. It’s a scary experience.”
