Far too often in boxing, a boxer's pride and courage is trumped by a promoter or manager who'd rather apply kid gloves in said athlete's career development. Such line of thinking is even more commonplace in the wake of a early loss.
Whatever desire Luke Campbell has to move from the lone defeat of his career has come with the full support of promoter Eddie Hearn, who continues to advance the 28-year old southpaw at a brisk pace.
Next up for the 2012 Olympic Gold medalist is a July 30 showdown with former super featherweight titlist Algenis Mendez, a fight that has recently been added to a Sky Sports telecast topped by Josh Warrington and Patrick Hyland squaring off in a 12-round featherweight clash. The show takes place at First Direct Arena in Warrington's hometown of Leeds, England.
"Delighted to announce that Luke Campbell will face former 130lb King (Algenis) Mendez at Leeds Arena on July 30-real fight on packed card," Hearn announced through his verified social media account on Saturday.
