The son of a British boxing legend has retired from the sport at the age of 24.
After suffering successive defeats to the same opponent last year he has decided to hang up his gloves.
The decision was also impacted by the death of one of his close friends.
He previously fought on the undercard of the Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk fight in 2021.
Prior to those two aforementioned defeats he had won his previous 14 professional fights.
However, he now won’t be entering the ring again.
Ricky Hatton confirmed that his son Campbell has retired from boxing.

Speaking to Boxing Now, he said: ‘No, Campbell won’t fight again.
‘As you know, he didn’t have much amateur experience. He gave it a go in the amateurs, and then he went pro and gave it a go.
‘He fought for the Area title and got beaten. I thought he lost it to be fair. But then he fought the same lad straight away after.
‘I thought he won the second one; they were both very close fights. But he lost a little bit of his mojo, and then a few things went wrong.’
Campbell Hatton lost to James Flint in Sheffield in March 2024 before being defeated by him again in Manchester seven months later.
Ricky Hatton continued: ‘They were both very close fights, he lost a little bit of his mojo and a few things went wrong [outside the ring], sadly lost one of his best friends in Justin who passed away at 27, went through a bit of a [tough] time, his heart wasn’t in it.
‘I said, ‘Listen son, you should be very proud of yourself, you have given it a go, but if you have lost your mojo, you need to get out’. You can’t play boxing, you can play any other sport. So I advised him, and now he is doing solar panels.’
