Campbell Hatton will fight on the undercard of what would have been an event headlined by his late father, Ricky, on 11 April in Dubai.<\/p>\n

The two-weight world champion died at the age of 46<\/a> last September.<\/p>\n

Ricky was scheduled to fight Eisa Al Dah<\/a> last year in what was being billed as his first professional bout since retiring in 2012.<\/p>\n

His son Campbell will fight for the first time since retiring from boxing in 2024 after successive defeats.<\/p>\n

“Looking forward to getting back in the ring in memory of my dad out in Dubai,” Campbell said on Instagram.<\/p>\n

The niece and nephew of Ricky, Jack and Lola Hatton, will also compete at the event.<\/p>\n

Both teenagers are in the early stages of their amateur careers.<\/p>\n

Campbell, 25, initially followed in his father’s footsteps into professional boxing but after 14 wins and two losses, decided to step away from the sport.<\/p>\n

The fight night is now headlined<\/a> by former world champion Kell Brook, who says he will be fighting in tribute to the ‘Hitman’.<\/p>\n

Brook, 39, retired from boxing in 2022 after a win over his long-time rival Amir Khan.<\/p>\n

It is unclear if the bout with 47-year-old Al Dah, who has not fought since 2021, will be a fully sanctioned professional fight.<\/p>\n

Organisers say the event will support the newly-formed Ricky Hatton Foundation and will “honour” the boxer’s memory through the evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Campbell Hatton will fight on the undercard of what would have been an event headlined by his late…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":418349,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-418348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=418348"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418348\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/418349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=418348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=418348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=418348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
