William Hutchinson (born 4 August 1998) 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[]
Hutchinson is regarded as one of Scotland's most successful amateur boxers,[2] 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.[3]
Professional career[]
Under the tutelage of renowned Cuban trainer, Ismael Salas, and being guided by David Haye's RingStar Promotions[3] with Shelly Finkel as manager,[4] 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.[5]
He scored another TKO victory in December—defeating Cyrille Joly in the second round[6]—followed by a six-round points decision (PTS) victory against Eric Mokonzo in February 2018.[7] After his win over Mokonzo, Hutchinson switched trainers from Salas to Dominic Ingle.[4]
In the following May it was announced that Hutchinson had also switched promoters, signing with Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions.[8]
