Campbell Hatton will step back into the ring on 11 April in Dubai, fighting on the undercard of an event that would have been headlined by his late father, Ricky Hatton. The 46‑year‑old champion died last September, and the night is set to honour his legacy.

After a career of 14 wins and two defeats, Campbell Hatton retired in 2024. He now returns for his first fight since stepping away, saying on Instagram, “Looking forward to getting back in the ring in memory of my dad out in Dubai.” The bout marks a personal comeback.

The night also features Ricky Hatton’s niece and nephew, Jack and Lola, who are early in their amateur careers. Their participation underscores the family’s ongoing connection to the sport. Organisers say the event will support the newly‑formed Ricky Hatton Foundation and honour the boxer’s memory.

Former world champion Kell Brook headlines the card, vowing to fight in tribute to the ‘Hitman’. Brook, 39, retired in 2022 after a win over Amir Khan. The event’s status remains uncertain, as the bout with 47‑year‑old Eisa Al Dah may not be fully sanctioned.
