Campbell Hatton’s Trainer/Uncle Pens Heartfelt Message After 23 YO’s Harsh Decision Following Recent Loss

Campbell Hatton‘s dream run as an undefeated professional boxer came crashing down last weekend. Losing a unanimous decision to Jimmy Joe Flint for the Central Area super-lightweight title left a bitter taste in his mouth. But the punches weren’t the only blow Hatton took. News broke that he’d also be parting ways with his trainer and uncle, Matthew Hatton – the very man who’d steered his career since its pro debut in 2021.

The decision follows whispers of a potential shift after the fight. Was it the strategic missteps that cost Campbell the belt, or a sign that he’d outgrown his trainer’s tutelage? So, after this heart-wrenching split, Matthew Hatton made a wholesome post, talking about all the times he had spent with his nephew training him for his fights.

“What a journey the last 7 years,” Matthew Hatton wrote in a social media post, announcing his split with nephew Campbell. The message was tinged with both pride and a hint of bittersweetness. Campbell, undefeated until his recent loss, had been under Matthew’s wing since turning professional. Despite some unconvincing performances, Campbell had shown glimpses of improvement.

But the Flint fight exposed their limitations. With a final message of encouragement, “Find a way. Make it happen,” Matthew stepped aside, leaving Campbell to forge his path. The young fighter’s boxing journey had just taken an unexpected turn, one that could redefine his future.

In response, even Campbell Hatton wrote, “Spent most days over the last 7 years alongside this man & loved every second. Uncle, trainer & best mate rolled into one. Time for a change for the next part of the journey but will always be grateful for everything he’s done for me. It’s been a belter.”

This was the first loss suffered by Campbell Hatton, however, he instantly accepted it and understood that the best man won that night. So, now he’s making arrangements to be better for his next matchup.
