4 h. ago Unforgettable Ricky Hatton turned boxing into a spectacle for his vast army of fans

The ‘Hitman’ was extraordinary in his fleeting prime with his career bringing adoration and the demons of fameRicky Hatton used to look like a ghost-faced urchin as he slipped into an old hat factory on the edge of Stockport. It was easy then to imagine him in a past life, stealing through Victorian Manchester as a gaunt fingersmith, his nimble hands relieving rich men of their excessive wealth. But the gory marks on his face always brought us back to the jolting present and his bruising reality as a young and aspiring boxer.In 2003, when I interviewed him for the first of many times in the atmospheric setting of that converted factory turned into a boxing gym, Hatton was 24 years old. The troubles of the future lay deep in the unknown because everything Hatton did then burned with an immediacy and urgency. He didn’t care that his gaunt and sickly face was mottled with dark blue bruises and crimson nicks which had yet to scab over and start to heal. “Basic wear and tear,” he said wi...

4 h. ago This natural rubber yoga mat lasted me a decade of daily practice

The JadeYoga Harmony helped me unlock a new form of fitness, and stuck with me for the long haulHave a buy it for life product recommendation – or disagree with our review? Email thefilter.us@theguardian.comSign up for the Filter US newsletter, your weekly guide to buying fewer, better things.The original yogis didn’t have rubber mats, or foam ones, for that matter. They had bare ground, grass mats and animal skins, if they were lucky. So when my wife suggested I spend $90 on a natural rubber yoga mat like the one she had, I balked. Is that really necessary?It turns out the answer was yes. Ten years later, I’m still using the JadeYoga Harmony mat I sprang for, and I’m no longer a skeptic, I’m an evangelist. Natural rubber provides enough cushion for comfort, enough grip to safely push my limits, and the durability of a truck tire. Continue reading...
