21-year-old Hatton moved up to 8-0 with a 60-54 points win.
Campbell started sharp, looking lively, throwing triple jabs and backing his man up, then whipping in some Ricky Hatton-esque body shots. It was an impressive opening round for the Mancunian.
Former Czech super-lightweight champion Dufek came out swinging in the second. Hatton stayed focused but it did get messy at times.

Jordan Thompson vs Vasil Ducar
Czech Republic's reigning cruiserweight champion Vasil Ducar (11-6-1, 10KO) was visibly frustrated with the superior Jordan Thompson (14-0, KO) by the end of round three, shouting and beckoning him to fight. Thompson didn't take the bait and flashed a smile at his angry opponent as the bell went.
Thompson was boxing superbly against an aggressive, dangerous foe who has 10 knockouts from 11 victories. He got through with a right hook to the temple in round six and came close to a stoppage.
'Troublesome' was economical with his shots, cool and composed despite this being his first ever championship contest.
In the 10th and final round, the 29-year-old from Manchester stayed safe by boxing behind his jab and tangled Ducar up but in the final seconds, the relentless punches from the Czech managed to floor the stumbling Brit. He was leaning and holding on, but Ducar wouldn't let up and kept punching finally flooring him with an uppercut from an awkward angle.
The scores were 97-92 and 96-93 twice for the winner Jordan Thompson, who becomes the new IBF European cruiserweight champion.

Johnny Fisher vs Michal Reissinger
Czech Republic heavyweight title contender Michal Reissinger was a live opponent, who was here for a fight. Trained by Mark Tibbs, Fisher boxed on the backfoot for the opener, as Reissinger came forward aggressively. By the last minute though, Reissinger was holding a high guard and only throwing single shots. A good uppercut followed by a right hook to Reissinger's head was how the round ended.
There was a delayed start to the second as Reissinger's mouthguard wasn't ready, which angered referee Steve Gray. Then very shortly after, an overhand right decked the Czech combatant and even though he got back to his feet, referee Gray would not allow him to continue. Fisher lined up the first overhand right, which grazed Reissinger, then followed up with an identical shot which landed fully to take him off his feet for a fourth career KO.

Dalton Smith vs Sam O'maison
Tentative start, as is to be expected in a British title fight. Dalton Smith started to land towards the end of the opener.
By the third round, it was still very technical, until Smith broke the deadlock with a right-left combination to floor O'maison. 'The Sensation' came on strong but it was a clear round for the home fighter.
30 seconds towards the end of round four, Smith caught Sam with a lovely right hand, but the former English titlist stood strong.
Another right hand from Smith stunned O'maison, who was now cut and bleeding heavily.
By round six, it was still a technical fight. Smith overloaded with a right and O'maison tried to counter but the Sheffield stylist was too quick for him. Then, another long, looping right hand caught O'maison on the chin and he went down again, but this time the referee stopped the fight.
