A BOXING legend is making his way to Thurrock next year.

Residents across Thurrock are invited to spend an evening with Ricky Hatton, who is coming to Grays in April 2015.

The two-time world champion will give his audience an insight into his career, take part in a question-and-answer session and continue the night with a meet-and-greet with his fans.

Hatton rose to fame at a young age through amateur boxing and has since won countless titles throughout his career.

He received an MBE for services to sport in the 2007 New Year Honours.

The star is heading to the Civic Hall, in Blackshots Lane, Grays, for one night on Friday, April 10, at 7pm.

Event organiser, Lee Eaton, said: “It’s a dream come true for me to bring Ricky to Grays. He was my boxing idol growing up. I watched all his fights and he is one of the all-time greatest British fighters.”

Tickets are priced at £600 for a table of ten. This includes a buffet, waitress service and a private bar.

Single table tickets are priced at £60 per person, or £40 for standard seating.
