Willy Hutchinson on 5 vs 5, finding inner happiness and flying the flag for Scotland
An Anglicised accent formed during a meandering upbringing does not immediately alert listeners to the fact that this is someone of Caledonian stock, the only Scot to win aamateur title, a man once signed and trained by David Haye, who now works under Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions banner and has lost just once in 18 professional contests. Not bad for a lad from Carstairs.
It has become increasingly spiky and antagonistic in the build-up, perhaps a sign of just how much is at stake. Hutchinson, though, remains supremely confident that this will serve as just another stepping stone on his way to the top. Given his amateur pedigree and turbo-charged start to his professional career, it looked like Hutchinson was on course to compete for world titles long before now. Then came the one blot on his record, a surprise defeat to Lennox Clarke in March 2021 that stopped him in his tracks.
“There’s a lot more to it than just turning up to fight. It’s just about trying to keep yourself right every day. Even now there are days when you could feel perfect one minute and then an hour later you’re down in the dumps. But it’s about how you deal with it.
