Campbell Hatton Looks to Make His Mark as Manchester City Chases History
Manchester’s got a serious appetite for sporting glory, and right now, two of its stars are aiming high. Campbell Hatton is keeping his eyes on the prize, not just in his own boxing career but also in backing his beloved Manchester City while they chase a legendary treble. If City pulls it off, it’ll be one for the ages—and Hatton wants a piece of that city-wide celebration.
Staying unbeaten in any sport takes talent and guts, and Campbell’s proven he’s got both. At just 22, the lightweight southpaw has reeled off 11 wins in a row. But what really sets his story apart is the shadow, and inspiration, of his father—Ricky Hatton, a name anyone with even a passing interest in boxing knows. Campbell isn’t just leaning on the family legacy. He’s determined to carve out his own success in the ring, even as he admits there’s extra pressure wearing the Hatton name. "There’s always people who want to see if you can live up to it. But that keeps me sharp," he’s said.
It’s not just the ring where you’ll find his heart. Campbell is a lifelong Manchester City supporter, caught up in the team’s dogged pursuit of the treble. After dropping by the Etihad Stadium to support the club’s big plans for a new Entertainment Destination, he’s shown he’s just as committed to City’s cause as to his own. The buzz around the city is fierce, and Campbell feeds off it: “The treble is on,” he says, echoing the hope of every City fan right now.
Big Fights, Big Stakes: Hatton’s Career at a Crossroads
Next up, Campbell’s facing a real acid test. Michal Bulik might not be a household name, but the Polish fighter has a reputation for giving opponents a hard night. No more tune-up fights—this one’s expected to stretch the young Brit to his limit. In his corner, as always, is his dad Ricky. The elder Hatton’s influence doesn’t just come from pep talks. Ricky has come out of retirement for a comeback fight in Dubai, reminding everyone that the fighting spirit runs deep in the family.
Behind the headlines and family name, there’s a young man fiercely determined to prove himself. Campbell’s childhood was spent in gyms, soaking up lessons from his dad and Manchester’s tough boxing scene. But all eyes are on what he does next. Can he become the next big star in British boxing, or will Bulik halt his run?
This latest bout is more than just another notch on Hitman Jr’s record. With Manchester City going all-in for that elusive treble—Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League—the city’s sporting energy is at fever pitch. Campbell feeds off the hype and hopes to deliver a win the same weekend his team might make its own history. For Manchester’s fighting son, and all who cheer him on, these next weeks could be unforgettable.
