Campbell Hatton shares Manchester Arena fight 'dream' after Fight Camp

Campbell Hatton is looking to return to Manchester following his recent Fight Camp bout against Jakub Laskowski.

The young fighter, son of boxing great Ricky Hatton, has caught the eye in his fledgling career - with the 20-year-old winning his first three professional bouts.

Hatton made it three from three when he took to the ring against 25-year-old Lawkowski back in July and already has his eyes cast towards a return 'home' for a dream fight at the Manchester Arena.

“I have always wanted to box at the Manchester Arena. My mind is on tonight, but that is just another dream and a motivator to take me to the top," he told a press conference.

"I can't wait to do it with a crowd now we are getting back to normal."

Hatton has already fought in Manchester, in a behind-closed-doors bout against Levi Dunn - his second points victory after seeing off Jesus Ruiz in Gibraltar.

While he has impressed, the young fighter vowed to keep learning before his win against Lawkowski.

“Yeah it is a step-up (Lawkowski), a tall and tricky fighter who could take a bit of figuring out. It will be a good experience for me.

“I think I showed big improvements from my first to my second fight such as in my composure and shape. I think you will see even bigger improvements on Saturday night.

"The limelight is going to be firmly focused on the young fighter as he meets his various targets during his professional career, with the 'Hatton' family name providing him with a real platform of early popularity and attention."
