Campbell signs for Misfits Boxing as he announces emotional retirement U-turn
Campbell Hatton has signed with Misfits Boxing and will make a huge comeback to boxing.
The son of late boxing legend and British icon Ricky announced his retirement from the sport in 2025 at the age of 24.
He wanted to pursue a career elsewhere, with his father confirming the news.
Sadly his iconic dad passed away in September last year in tragic circumstances.
In honour of his father, the younger Hatton announced he would return in an exhibition card alongside Kell Brook, with the proceeds going to the Ricky Hatton foundation.
But now 'The Hurricane' has astonishingly announced a full return, which will come under influencer promotion Misfits Boxing.
The news was announced as he stepped in the ring just moments before the clash between Tommy Fury and Eddie Hall in his home city.
He said after his shock new move was announced: “It’s all about doing [Ricky] proud.
Buzzing. Can’t wait to get things going again.”
It is an emotional return for Campbell, who will of course do his father proud as he always did.
He will be hoping to reverse his form after back-to-back losses against James Flint before he initially retired.
Who could Hatton fight in his return?
Astonishingly, it could be big-name opposition immediately for the 25-year-old.
In the ring, it was suggested that the son of Prince Naseem Hamed, Sami, could well be his first opponent.
The younger Hamed has made his debut for Misfits Boxing already, beating Zachary Johnson in 2025.
It was his second appearance in the ring after he fought professionally against Jesse Clarke in Dublin, and has a record of 2-0.
On the potential clash, he added: "I’d love it straight away.
“For me it makes sense, two massive boxing names, two big boxing families, why not.”
