Hatton suffered a huge gash over his left eye that bothered him through the rest of the fight

But was again outclassed as the Yorkshireman scored a 97-94, 96-94, 96-95 victory.

Hatton had previously been undefeated in 14 fights before his now back-to-back losses to Flint.

But the manner of the defeats has already prompted many to question where he goes from here - with some saying on X: "Campbell Hatton is done on the pro scene".

Hatton employed Anthony Joshua's trainer Ben Davison in this fight to try and reverse his fortunes.

The son of former world champ Ricky started off in a more controlled manner, trying to learn from the mistakes of the first fight.

But he suffered a nasty gash over his left eye in the second round that continued to bother him throughout the fight.

And Flint soon took control of the centre of the ring, showing off his superior skill and picking his shots.

Meanwhile Hatton fell back into the wild, pressing style that had served his dad so well.

Flint was a deserved winner again

Unfortunately, it did not work so well for Hatton Jr - with his wide and wild shots easy pickings for the better fighter.

Flint, who now boasts a record of 15-2-2, was himself left with a badly swollen eye when the final bell sounded.

But it can as little surprise to anyone watching on when his name soon rang out as winner.

And there will be many questions for Hatton to answer in the immediate future.
