Campbell Hatton has left boxing fans split after his debut fight ended in victory.

The son of boxing legend Ricky walked into the ring for the first time professionally for a clash against Spanish fighter Jesus Ruiz, who had a record of 0-10 going into the bout.

And the 20-year-old managed to secure a victory, going the full four rounds to clinch a points victory on the undercard of Povetkin vs Whyte 2.

But fans were left split, with some less than impressed with Hatton's stamina in the boxing ring.

"Hatton not exactly living up to the family name," one said.

Another commented: "Hatton loves a few windmills."

While a third held nothing back, with: "I don't know if its just that he don't respect his punch power, but Campbell Hatton’s defence has more leaks than a colander."

And a fourth simply added: "Hatton looks like he wants to go to bed and collapse! Looks f***ed!"

But others were more impressed by the youngster's first professional fight live on Sky Sports.

"Only 20 and raw but will get better – looking forward to following his career," another viewer said.

With a sixth saying: "Job done. Bound to have been nervous which is why he was like a bull in a China shop at times but he deffo showed some decent stuff particularly the body shots!"

And a seventh saw echoes of his dad Ricky, with: "Has a lot to improve on fundamental wise but definitely has the spite and the power of his father it seems."

A final viewer simply said: "A lot to work on for Hatton."

Hatton's dad Ricky held multiple world championships at light-welterweight and welterweight level.
