Anthony Joshua vs Robert Helenius: Campbell Hatton stays undefeated on undercard with Tom Ansell victory

Campbell Hatton maintained his undefeated record with a big win on the undercard of Anthony Joshua’s meeting with Robert Helenius. 

Ricky’s son has now won all 13 of his fights as a professional after picking up a points win over Tom Ansell at O2 Arena in London. 

Referee Sean McAvoy gave the 22-year-old from Hyde the decision 78-74 after eight rounds of action. 

Ansell represented the toughest test of the super-lightweight’s career, certainly on paper, having won 10 and lost four of his fights before Saturday night. 

The huge Manchester City fan entered the action to a mash-up of club anthem Blue Moon and Oasis. He was supported by his dad and is trained by his uncle Matthew Hatton, a decorated fighter in his day who won European honours and challenged for a world title. 

Having turned professional at a relatively young age, Hatton continues to learn on the job, but will likely be targeting domestic titles sooner rather than later. 

Other fights on the Joshua-Helenius undercard include Derek Chisora’s meeting with Gerald Washington and a third heavyweight fight on the bill of Filip Hrgovic against Demsey McKean.
