Boxing @ the very highest level. BJS is so skilled he was always going to have his momentโs. Canelo for me now has become the complete fighter an absolute wrecking ball & in my opinion no one to touch him ๐๐ป PS unless I made a comeback but simply have to many commitments now ๐คช
Big happy birthday to my nephew

Such a bright future ahead for him aim for the stars young Campbell the future is yours โค๏ธ
Long time coming & like most would of liked to of seen it a while ago but still a hell of a match up & I for 1 canโt wait. Big drama tonight expecting a thriller maybe both visiting the canvas but predicting Kell Brook to win via KO

Sparring today. Hit & donโt be hit what this games all about, couldnโt hit him with a hand full of stones. All the best for June Champ looking fantastic โ๐ป
10 Years ago to the day. My best night in boxing capturing the European title against
43-2-1 Gianlucca Branco who had only lost to Cotto & Gatti previously.
Written off after early losses but hard work & dogged determination got me to this point. Cheered me up this today โค๏ธ๐ฅ
The transformation in this young man over the last few months has been remarkable.
Worked so hard & listened to every word Iโve told him.
Talk is cheap actions speak louder than words.
DO believe the hype 2 wks & counting ๐๐๐ป
@CampbellHatton
Good win for
@CampbellHatton
to finish the season against a very talented opponent been a stop/start season for Campbell with lots of time out with injury etc but a fantastic way to finish the season in a quality bout ๐๐ป๐ฅ
11 years ago to the day๐๐ป
Defending my European title for the second time against Roberto Belge who was previously undefeated in 26 fights ๐๐ป
Disappointment today for Jack losing in his National Quarter Final.
Tough close contest but no complaints.
What a 1st year in boxing

youโve been tremendous.
Learn & come back stronger I have no doubtโs you will ๐๐ป
