William Hutchinson (born 4 August 1998[1]) is a Scottish professional boxer. As an amateur he won a gold medal at the 2016 Youth World Championships in the middleweight division.
Amateur career[edit]
Hutchinson is regarded as one of Scotland's most successful amateur boxers,[3] winning gold medals at the 2014 European Junior Championships and 2016 Youth World Championships—becoming the first Scottish boxer to win gold at an amateur World Championships.[4]
Professional career[edit]
Under the tutelage of renowned Cuban trainer, Ismael Salas, and being guided by David Haye's RingStar Promotions[4] with Shelly Finkel as manager,[5] Hutchinson made his professional debut on 20 October 2017, scoring a first-round technical knockout (TKO) victory against Attila Nagy at the indigo at The O2 in London.[6]
He scored another TKO victory in December—defeating Cyrille Joly in the second round[7]—followed by a six-round points decision (PTS) victory against Eric Mokonzo in February 2018.[8] After his win over Mokonzo, Hutchinson switched trainers from Salas to Dominic Ingle.[5]
In the following May it was announced that Hutchinson had also switched promoters, signing with Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions.[9]
