Campbell Hatton faces Izan Dura in fourth fight
Campbell Hatton’s (3-0) fourth pro bout, on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk, comes around just six months on from his debut in March this year.
The 20-year-old Manchester City fan, trained by his uncle Matthew, defeated Spaniard Jesus Ruiz (0-11) on March 27 on points in his professional debut; then he saw off British journeyman Levi Dunn (0-4) in his next fight on the blockbuster Derek Chisora vs Joseph Parker Sky Sports Box Office event on May 1; culminating with a win over Poland's Jakub Laskowski (4-5-1, 2KOs) on Week One of Matchroom's 'Fight Camp' series on the last day of July.
All three triumphs have been scored at 40-36, which means 'Hurricane' Hatton has yet to lose a single round.
Fledgling pro Campbell has been boxing properly since the age of 14 and won a National Novice championship, plus two North West titles. After struggling to get suitable amateur boxing matches, he turned pro in December last year.
BBN decided to dig up some interesting info about his next opponent, Izan Dura:
Who is Izan Dura?
Born Izan Dura Galvin in 2000 in Alicante, he now resides in Santa Pola, Comunidad Valenciana, a coastal fishing and tourist town in Spain.
One of the more notable names he fought in the amateurs was Rio 2016 Olympian Youba Sissokho, who was also a European bronze and EU silver medallist. Dura lost to the more experienced amateur over three rounds in July 2018 in Andalucia, Spain, part of the Campeonato de España 2018 de boxeo amateur series in the 69kg category.
His forthcoming fight with Hatton will be his second appearance in the UK. He was matched with Welsh welterweight Jake Tinklin (now 6-0) on a Sanigar Promotions event in Merthyr Leisure Centre, Wales, in March 2019, which he lost 40-36 on points.
His three victories have come against two debutants and a 0-3 boxer, so he has never won against a winning fighter yet.
His opponents' combined record total to 18-8, which includes future foe Hatton.
