William Hutchinson (born 4 August 1998) is a Scottish professional boxer. He has challenged once for the British and Commonwealth super-middleweight titles in 2021. 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, 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.
Professional career Under the tutelage of renowned Cuban trainer, Ismael Salas, and being guided by David Haye's RingStar Promotions with Shelly Finkel as manager, 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.
He scored another TKO victory in December—defeating Cyrille Joly in the second round—followed by a six-round points decision (PTS) victory against Eric Mokonzo in February 2018. After his win over Mokonzo, Hutchinson switched trainers from Salas to Dominic Ingle.
In the following May it was announced that Hutchinson had also switched promoters, signing with Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions.
Hutchinson fought Joshua Buatsi for the WBO interim light-heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois on 21 September 2024. He was twice knocked to the canvas before losing the contest via split decision with two ringside judges scoring the fight in favour of his opponent 117–108 and 115–110 respectively, while the third had it in his favour 113–112.
