Boxing legend Ricky Hatton spends night out with Playboy model Carla Howe in Manchester
BOXING legend Ricky Hatton has been snapped enjoying a night out with Playboy model Carla Howe in Manchester on Sunday.
The retired boxer, 38, was attending the Manchester Industry Pink Theme Fashion Show at Menagerie alongside the brunette.
Howe, 26, has quite a list of famous former flames, including being linked with Cristiano Ronaldo, Nathaniel Clyne, Mario Balotelli and rapper Wiz Khalifa.

Former two-weight boxing world champion Hatton was all smiles as he cosied up to the Celebrity Big Brother star.
Dressed in a pink latex dress, Howe was attending the 2017 spring/summer 'Rethink Pink' show - a party thrown by designer Claudia Croazzo.
Hatton on the other hand decided to skip the pink and head to his old faithful light blue... to match his beloved Manchester City, who earlier in the day had drawn 2-2 with Arsenal at the Emirates.
The City-mad former boxer still looked smart on the evening in a pair of jeans and a jacket over the shirt, paired with a pocket square and black shoes.
Hatton was quick to get close to Howe on the evening - who has also been linked with Ray J, Calum Best, Jamie O'Hara and Kyle Walker in the past 18 months.
However, the Playboy model is most well-known for her reported affair with another boxer - Bolton boy Amir Khan.
The brunette was said to have indulged in the fling with the married fighter in 2013, while Marouane Chamakh is another footballer to have been spotted with the model, two years later.
It was later revealed Howe was dating Clyne in 2016 - before swapping flirty texts with Kyle Walker two days before England's disappointing 1-1 draw with Russia at Euro 2016.
