Jack Catterall v Jorge Linares: Campbell Hatton, Khaleel Majid and William Crolla win on Liverpool undercard

Campbell Hatton kept up his perfect professional record with a rare disqualification win in Liverpool. 

Ricky’s son has now won all 14 of his fights after seeing opponent Jamie Sampson thrown out for persistent holding on the undercard of Jack Catterall’s clash with Jorge Linares. . 

The Sheffield fighter had already been deducted points in the fifth and sixth rounds and referee Mark Lyson had seen enough in the final round of eight, leading to the DQ. 

Hatton, trained by uncle Matthew, summed up his views on social media, saying: "Now 14-0, just a shame he didn’t want to know.”

It was also a good night for William Crolla, brother of Anthony, who stopped Martin Shaw in the first round to make it two wins out of two as a professional at the M&S Bank Arena.

The third Greater Manchester winner on the undercard came in the form of Bolton super-lightweight Khaleel Majid. He came through his sternest test of his career as he stopped home favourite Tom Farrell in the sixth round after sending him to the canvas three times in all.

It was a tough night though for popular Oldham fighter Aqib Fiaz, who came up short in his bid to win the Commonwealth super-featherweight title against Reece Bellotti. 

Having won his first 12 fights to set up the title chance, Fiaz was down in the eighth with his trainer, Salford’s Jamie Moore, electing to throw in the towel to protect his man for another day.
