In The Name Of The Father – Luke Campbell Shows Strength Despite Father’s Passing

Luke Campbell came as close as you could get to wrestle the WBA lightweight title from the excellent three weight world champion Venezuela’s Jorge Linares in California at the weekend, made even more astonishing when learning he had lost his beloved father Bernard to Cancer two weeks before his biggest boxing challenge.

Campbell boxed superbly behind his southpaw jab, long reach and great skills, starting very well and grabbing the 1st round, the second turned out to be a vital round as the champion came firing back in aggressive fashion flooring Campbell briefly. Which would turn out to be the diffence in what was a very hard fought contest of terrific skills from both men.
