Campbell Hatton ring walks: Start time and how to watch Ricky Hatton’s son in action in Manchester on Derek Chisora vs Joseph Parker undercard tonight
Campbell Hatton, son of British boxing icon Ricky, will contest just his second professional fight tonight.
The 19-year-old made his debut on the undercard to Dillian Whyte’s win over Alexander Povetkin in Gibraltar in March and now fights in his home city of Manchester - where his dad enjoyed so many memorable nights.

The super-featherweight, who has been trained by his uncle and former world title challenger Matthew Hatton, beat journeyman Jesus Ruiz to get his career up and running.
There was plenty of pressure on the youngster due to his famous name and he emulated his dad's iconic body attacks in a decent display.
The youngster will now want to build on that win as he gets back under the lights this weekend on the undercard to Derek Chisora vs Joseph Parker.
He will take on 0-4 23-year-old Levi Dunn and will want to put on a show in his hometown.

This four-round super featherweight bout is scheduled for tonight on Saturday, May 1 and will take place at the Manchester Arena.

Hatton is expected in the ring from 8.30pm although it will depend on the length of the previous fights.
The night’s action will be shown on from 6pm at a cost of £19.95.

Campbell Hatton fight: What has been said?
Campbell Hatton told talkSPORT: “I enjoyed every minute of my debut but in terms of my actual performance I was a bit disappointed.
“I was a bit over-eager and trying a bit too hard to impress. I was desperate to get that knockout.
“It’s one of the oldest sayings in boxing, but when you go looking for the knockout it never comes.
“Going forward, I’m relaxed now and the pressure is off. And I think we’ll see a different Campbell Hatton this weekend.”
On his legendary dad’s influence, Hatton added: “He gives me loads of advice, he’s been there and done it himself.”
“I’ve done quite a bit of sparring down at his gym as well.
“I’m very similar to my dad so it’s good to pick up bits of his knowledge.”
