"Ricky Hatton has checked into rehab following reports that he had taken cocaine. Hatton&amp;#039;s spokesman Max Clifford confirmed that the former world boxing champion had entered a facility and has been suffering from severe depression for &amp;quot;several weeks&amp;quot;, according to PA. Clifford said: &amp;quot;[Hatton] met with the specialist today for four, five, six hours and he was told that his depression is severe depression and that he has a drink problem. The drugs are quite recent and not actually the problem when we&amp;#039;re talking about degrees. &amp;quot;The problem is depression and the drink has been a problem for some time. From everything they&amp;#039;ve said, the drugs are a far more recent thing and very much superficial alongside the drink and depression.&amp;quot; Although he did not confirm how long Hatton would spend in treatment, Clifford said: &amp;quot;They are very confident if he does what they tell him with the treatment, therapy and advice, he can sort himself out. And he will do what they tell him.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;ve said, &amp;#039;This is your problem, this is what&amp;#039;s wrong, and we can sort it out. You should have come to us a long time ago&amp;#039;. It&amp;#039;s been a shaft of sunshine coming through. He&amp;#039;s faced up to it now even though he hasn&amp;#039;t for some time and it&amp;#039;s been there for some time.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
