RICKY HATTON basked in the Istanbul sunshine ahead of the Champions League final.
The Hitman is one of thousands of City fans that have headed to Turkey to cheer on their beloved team in their historic Treble hunt.
Hatton, 48, grinned as he flexed his bicep with his top off for a snap.
In front of the British boxing legend and his pals was a table full of beers.
The former light-welterweight king donned sunglasses and a retro City top for other merry snaps alongside fellow fans.

Asked for a prediction by ITV News earlier this week, Hatton was confident that his side will get it done, saying: "I'm going with City aren't I?
"I think this team is a very special team, they are just blitzing everybody.
"When United won it, they won it comfortable but not in the manner that we are winning things."
"I think doing the treble would mean the world to Manchester City fans. I think this is the best team City have had.
"We've still got a lot of catching up to do with United, but the treble is still one they've got on us."

Despite City's numerous Prem successes in recent years, Hatton still has to pinch himself at his side's potential treble.
Asked how he'd have felt if told after Manchester United's 1999 treble that his team would be the next English side to do it, Hatton said: "I'd have thought they were drunk. I would have never believed it.
"I think my head hurt after fighting Manny Pacquiao but I think it'll hurt a little bit more if City win the treble!"
