Ricky Hatton has allayed fans' concerns after
The footage emerged on social media this week, believed to have been filmed at the Dubliner Irish Pub in Tenerife.
Hatton was seen staggering around with his white t-shirt over his head, before stumbling and falling.
The 40-year-old's fans were quick to express their concerns but Hatton has taken to social media to send a message to his followers.
The Hitman admits he was in a drunken state when he fell but stayed in for almost half of his 10-day holiday.
"Just a message to my friends and fans as I am sure they might be concerned," he said.
"I went to Tenerife for 10 nights. Went out 6 nights, stayed in 4 nights. Had my girls for 2 days and spent the vast majority with my whole family. Look on my insta.
"It just so happens I fell on my arse p***** one night. Jesus who hasn't done that on holiday?
"I used to fall on me arse every night. Need to get rid of that belly though. All good. The hitman."
Hatton has three children, including six-year-old Fearne Grace and seven-year-old Millie with ex-fiancee Jennifer Dooley.
The Mancunian retired from the sport first in 2009 after his defeat by Manny Pacquiao and then again in 2012 after an ill-fated comeback fight against Vyacheslav Senchenko.
Since then he has started training fighters, including Love Island star Tommy Fury and heavyweight Nathan Gorman.
Hatton's mental health problems have been well-document and he has repeatedly struggled with depression.
He has admitted to relying on drink and drugs to help cope after he retired and came close to killing himself on several occasions.
