Ricky Hatton has been stripped of his licence to box at a British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC) hearing but can still work as a promoter in the sport.

Hatton was found guilty of misconduct and also fined £20,000 plus costs after allegations about his use of cocaine.

A BBBC statement said Hatton's "actions and behaviour were detrimental to the interests of boxing" and had "brought the sport into disrepute".

Hatton, 31, is now at a rehabilitation clinic and facing a police inquiry.
