Campbell Hatton reveals boxing sacrifices and 2023 plan ahead of Michel Gonxhe fight

Campbell Hatton will be hoping to put on a show next Saturday night in Liverpool, in what he expects to be his last six-round contest before targeting titles next year.

The 22-year-old has been in training for the last 12 weeks, preparing to face Italian Michel Gonxhe on March 11 at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool. He will face the 31-year-old Gonxhe on the undercard of Callum Smith vs Pawel Stepien on what will be a big night of boxing on Merseyside.

Sacrifice in the name of boxing is something which is familiar to the Hatton family, with Campbell's father Ricky having become a two-weight world champion and uncle Matthew having
