The 19-year-old has a love for Manchester City and Oasis just like his dad.

Campbell Hatton insists he is ready to handle the pressure that will come with being Ricky Hatton's son after he turned professional on Thursday.

The 19-year-old has signed a multi-fight deal with Matchroom and will start life in the paid ranks at super-featherweight level in February.

During a career spanning 48 bouts, his dad Ricky was a two-weight world champion, fighting the biggest names in the sport, and now he will watch his son follow in his footsteps.

"I can't wait to get going and as soon as they see me in the ring they will know it is a style to take to, with the aggression but I also like to think and box as well so I think it is a style the fans will love," Campbell said.

"I said to my brother Matthew he is hooked and has it. He has put his heart and soul into it over the last few years and the rate he has improved shows how dedicated he is, how much he listens and how he puts everything into what he does."

Campbell is trained by his uncle Matthew Hatton and Ricky knows his following will get behind the prospect.

He added: "The minute you see him fight and do an interview and the style he has got and the type of person he is, my fans will be his fans.

"Not for me, for Campbell. I am very excited about the future. We have brought him up in the right direction to be confident, but humble, be aggressive but have your wits about you.

"All those things and attributes will get him to the top and he don't need me. Eventually he will have to do it on his own, I can't do it for him and I think he will."
