We all know former boxing champ Ricky Hatton loves his grub - as this whopping 2,500 calorie full English breakfast shows.

The Hitman took on the heavyweight eating challenge during a holiday in Benidorm, Spain, with his son.

Weighing in at a staggering 4lb, the mammoth morning feast consisted of six rounds of toast, three sausages, bacon, fried eggs, beans, mushrooms AND chips.

True to form, the Mancunian legend finished the breakfast fit for a champion, washing down the lot with a can of diet Coke.

In his prime, Ricky was well-known for shedding up to 40lb in the run up to a bout after ballooning between fights.

Nicknamed ‘Ricky Fatton’, Mancunians loved him for his love of Guinness, fry-ups and fast food.

But the City-mad champ, 37, didn’t care - and wasn’t afraid to have a laugh at his own expense.

The former light-welterweight and welterweight world champion, who hung up his gloves in 2012 to become a boxing promoter, posted a picture of the meal on Twitter.

He said: “Having a Benidorm breaky. I’ve never walked away from a challenge and this is one. But there is only one Ricky Fatton.”

The Mancunian favourite - pals with Burnage boys Liam and Noel Gallagher - showed he still had a sense of humour after aiming a dig at himself earlier this year.

A hilarious video posted on Twitter showed him running through the streets of Tenerife.

Pounding the pavements, it appeared Ricky was back in training, fighting to get in shape.

But all became clear as the camera panned up and a McDonald’s sign came into shot - telling him an Egg McMuffin (or two) was just a minute away.
