Hatton vs Martinez

Really nice left hook from Hatton towards the end of a pretty quiet third round. Martinez still looks very comfortable in there, strutting around as if he is only just getting started.

Hatton probably behind on the cards after three rounds. Much, much closer than we all thought.

Hatton vs Martinez

This has become a slugfest already. Martinez is landing too frequently at the moment. Hatton comes back with some decent left hooks of his own but his feet are under him and he’s too far away when trying to land the right.

Much closer round. Martinez already outperforming expectations.

Hatton vs Martinez

Oh, hello! Martinez has started like an absolute train! He clips Hatton with a couple of glancing blows and then gets through with a superb uppercut-right hook combination! Hatton looks a little wobbly on his legs for a moment and Martinez throws his arms up as if to say ‘I can deal with all you’ve got’.

Only six rounds, this. Martinez definitely won the opener.

Hatton vs Martinez

Here we go then with the third televised fight of the evening. Florian Marku and Callum Smith have already picked up very different victories. Now it’s the turn of Campbell Hatton, the son of legendary British fighter Ricky.

Ricky is ringside to watch his son this evening. Campbell, who is campaigning at lightweight, will want to put on a show for those in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It’s filling up very nicely now.

Little shot of Smith being congratulated by AJ as he returns to the dressing room. A good win for Smith, but Joshua has another level of pressure on his shoulders this evening.

Not that you’d know it from looking at him...

Next up on tonight’s show is the son of a legend. No, it’s not more Eddie Hearn. It’s Ricky Hatton’s son Campbell.

Campbell, 20, is competing in his fourth professional fight tonight. Still a raw novice, but an exciting fighter nonetheless. He takes on Sonni Martinez, who has a record of two wins and four defeats.

Spoiler: Hatton wins.
