Who is Ben Hatchett?
Professional bareknuckle fighter Ben Hatchett, 34, is well-known on social media.
In combat, he goes by One Bomb as well.
Hatchett stated to the Daily Star that bareknuckle boxing is a professional sport that requires blood tests and other requirements.
“You need to have some sort of fight experience to get into it.
“I wouldn’t recommend anyone without any experience getting into bareknuckle”.
He was incarcerated at Broadmoor Hospital with Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe and monster Ian Brady.
After attempting a jail break at the age of 21, Ben was sent to Broadmoor after being found guilty of knife crimes when he was a juvenile.
After a few years, he was transferred to Ashworth Hospital, a high-security prison close to Liverpool. However, he was freed in 2020 and has since made a successful recovery, working as a boxer and hosting a popular YouTube podcast.
Only a few weeks after declaring she was back with her fiancé David, 49-year-old Daniella Westbrook posted a video of herself curled up between the sheets with her former boyfriend Ben in September.
In the video, a giggling Danniella says: “Guess what, do you want to know a secret?”
She then pans over to Ben who laughs: “The cats out the bag.”
Danniella adds: “It’s official.”
She later shared another video and claimed it was an old video taken ‘years ago’ and she thought she was just sending to him as she insisted they are just friends
Hatchett also dated Danielle Mason, the half-sister of Jessie Wallace, once they went for a date in Broadmoor after he invited her to appear on his podcast.
“I came out with a dream in my head,” Ben stated in an interview with the Daily Star about how regaining his freedom helped him turn his life around.
“I was going to do a book I was going to do something positive in the world – I came out with the belief that I can change and be a better person and he can too, if he was just given the opportunity.
“I was done for hostage taking,” he admits, “was on top of prison roofs, I was done for violence, I was kicked out of Broadmoor.
“They deemed me high risk. I did nine months segregation for a plot to take lan Brady hostage but I came out and look what I’ve done now; I own a security company now, I am a professional fighter, I’ve gone and worked with kids.
“These 4 letters gave me hope when I was inside – P.T.A.W., prove them all wrong.”
