Campbell, who is trained by Jorge Rubio and Luis Frometa by “Chiro” Perez, were working in their training camps for upcoming fights.

A British professional boxer who currently holds the Commonwealth lightweight title, Campbell is 27 years old and as an amateur, won the gold medal at the 2012 Olympics and 2008 European Championships as well as silver at the 2011 World Championships – all in the bantamweight division.

Campbell’s first professional fight took place on 13 July 2013 at Craven Park in his home city of Hull. His opponent was Andy Harris who he beat in the first round. Campbell continued his undefeated start to his career with a fifth round stoppage of Lee Connelly in Hull on 2nd November 2013. In his fifth professional bout, Campbell carried on his undefeated record and became the first person to stop Scott Moises.

In April 2014, Campbell announced that he would be taking a break from boxing, pulling out of his next scheduled bout, following his father being diagnosed with cancer. His current record reads 13-1 and Campbell is due to fight again on July 30 in the UK.
