Campbell Hatton has retired from boxing at 24 years old to become a solar panel installer, according to his father two-weight world champion Ricky Hatton.
Hatton last fought in October in a second consecutive defeat to James Flint and finishes his professional career with a 14-2 record.
He won his first 12 fights and was part of the same management as Anthony Joshua before his career petered out over the last two years.
“No, Campbell won’t fight again,” Ricky Hatton, who will ironically return to boxing in December, told Boxing Now when asked about his son’s future.
“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 fought at lightweight during his career
Ricky, who turns 47 in October, became his son’s trainer in March earlier this year before they discussed retirement.
He says the death of one of Campbell’s best friends impacted him in recent months.
“He went through a bit for a time, and he was in the gym, and his heart wasn’t in it,” he said.
“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.”

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni focused on ‘sustained success’ rather than Super Bowl repeat despite high odds
In the history of the NFL, only eight teams have managed to win back-to-back Super Bowls. While winning it all is the ultimate goal for every team, some feel focusing solely on holding the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the year is counterproductive. The Philadelphia Eagles won it all in 2024 and are tied for the second best odds to do it again in 2025 (+700, per Caesars Sportsbook), but the February event is the last thing coach Nick Sirianni is thinking about. In fact, Sirianni said he won't mention even the word "repeat" to his players, focusing instead on "sustained success.""Every time we talk about it, talking about this topic, we're talking about sustained success," Sirianni said, per NBC Philadelphia. "I think they understand what that is. A lot of these guys have had sustained success, right? They know it's […]

Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau will once again be the talk of the golf world to start the week at Royal Portrush.Scheffler, Rahm and DeChambeau are seeking their first Open Championship win, while McIlroy hopes to add a second in his homecoming to Northern Ireland. While that quartet sits atop the sport, there are 152 others trying to etch their name in golf history and swipe the Claret Jug away from golf's top stars. Among them are young stars hoping to capture their first major, like Ludvig Åberg and Viktor Hovland, while reigning Open champion Xander Schauffele hopes to finally reclaim the form from his sensational […]

O Botafogo foi quem mais se interessou pelo atleta, que também foi especulado no Flamengo e Corinthians, mas isso não vai acontecer. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADEPelo menos é o que garante o jornalista Jorge Nicola, que informou um acerto de Firmino com o Al-Sadd, do Catar, que vai pagar cerca de 7 milhões de euros para antecipar o fim do seu contrato. Ele receberá um salário na casa dos R$ 10 milhões, algo que afastou ele do Brasil. “Firmino gostaria de jogar na Inglaterra, mas diante da falta de propostas e das ofertas brasileiras muito distantes […]
