The 19-year-old will make his debut on March 6 on the Dillian Whyte vs. Alexander Povetkin card. It will be a Matchroom Boxing event live on DAZN, which represents Anthony Joshua. Therefore, Hatton is already seeing the benefits of his union.

Anthony Joshua welcomes Campbell Hatton to the 258 team

Heavyweight champion and co-owner of the promotional company Anthony Joshua took to his social media to welcome Hatton. With his tweet, Joshua reassured Hatton of his support. Moreover, on a personal note, ‘AJ’ will be pleased that they can attract talent ahead of the big promoters.

 Ahead of his debut on March 6, on the Whyte-Povetkin card, Campbell Hatton will have a lot of expectations on his shoulders. His father was a two-division world champion, having held multiple titles. Moreover, he was a nation-wide hero among British boxing fans.

Thus, it will be intriguing to see if his son has inherited any of his skills and talent. The 19-year-old does not have an opponent yet; however, if he can register an impressive performance, it would be a fantastic occasion for himself and the promotion company.

Therefore, what do you make of this news? Do you think Anthony Joshua and 258MGT can help Campbell Hatton replicate the success of his father?
