Campbell Hatton next fight changed on Anthony Joshua undercard

Campbell Hatton has been handed a late change of opponent for this weekend and will now face off against Sonni Martinez.

The Manchester fighter was set for a fourth professional bout against Spaniard Izan Dura on Saturday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's title defence against Oleksandr Usyk.

However, the fight has been changed and Hatton will now come up against 29-year-old Uruguayan boxer Martinez.

It will be Martinez's first fight outside of Spain, where he resides, with his last outing being a victory in May that ended a sequence of four consecutive losses.

Martinez has a record of 2-4 in his professional career, while Hatton is 3-0 since making his professional debut earlier this year.

Hatton is widely regarded to be one of the most exciting up-and-coming boxers in Britain, with this weekend marking a significant test in front of a packed stadium in north London.

His fight is the third of the night on Saturday's card on an evening that also features Callum Smith's debut at light-heavyweight following his loss to Canelo Alvarez in December.

The event will be televised live on Sky Sports, with access available through the Box Office at a cost of £24.95.
