Ricky Hatton’s son, Campbell, hung his boxing gloves at the age of 24 to set off on a modern career outside of sport. Campbell achieved 14 wins when he began an impressive beginning of his professional career, but last year he suffered more failures with James Flint.

His father, a former world champion in two weight, confirmed that Campbell would not return to the boxing ring, which somewhat influenced his losses against Flint and the tragedy in his personal life. “No, Campbell will not fight again,” said Hatton Boxing now. “As you know, he did not have many amateur experience. He seemed to him in amateurs, and then he went to a professional and gave him a chance. He fought for the title of the area and beaten. I thought he lost him for a fair, but then he immediately fought with the same boy. I thought he won the second; they were both very close to fights.

“But he lost some of his Mojo, and then a few things went wrong. Unfortunately, he lost one of his best friends, Justin, who died at the age of 27.

“I said,” Listen to my son, you should be very proud of yourself, you gave him a try, but if you lost Mojo, you must get out. ” You can’t play boxing, you can do another sport.

Campbell debuted in 2021 and appeared on several thunderous cards, including in the first fight of Anthony Joshua from Oleksandr Usyk at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

However, Ricky will return to the ring at the end of the year after a surprising announcement, after the last fight in 2012. Hatton is to become the first professional boxer of Dubai Eisy Al Dah on December 2.

“Only a quick statement of how excited I am to put on gloves again on December 2 in Dubai,” said Hatton. “A few years ago I always spoke after the exhibition against Marco, if another opportunity appeared, I always looked at it and weigh the advantages and disadvantages. I did what is a good and reasonable fight for me.

“I am 47 years elderly, like my opponent, I am not 58 years elderly. I do not go to the world level or straight to fight for the title of world champion.

“I know that I am not at the world level now. But I am common to know what fights are good for me and what fights are outside me. No matter how elderly we have in my life, we still have goals, ambitions, goals to set ourselves.

“We still have to have a reason to get up in the morning. Nobody more than I do for my way of thinking and mental health. There is a very good reason to focus me and keep my health, and not on the contrary. Why did Mike Tyson fight again? Why is Manny Pacquiao fight again?

“Why is Paulie Mallanagi fight again? (Bare Knuckle) Why is Shane Mosley fighting again? We are fighters, this is what we do. Fights are still unable, but I can’t wait to go back to the training camp, train demanding and feel good.

“Because I have my whole life, I can’t wait to set up a program again.
