Luke Campbell

The title of the best of the best can not be earned by every athlete: someone will be faster, stronger, more agile. Boxer Luke Campbell got this high praise, because he is a gold medalist of the Olympic Games, a silver medalist of the World Boxing Championship, the winner of the European Championship.

Luke Campbell was born on September 27, 1987, in Kingston upon Hull, or simply Gull, England. His family is from Ireland.

Much less is known about the early period of Campbell's biography than about sporting achievements. Even information about the athlete's higher education remains a mystery. Probably, the young man was addicted to the sport grandfather - quite famous in Ireland boxer.

Campbell started with the St Paul's Amateur Club in Gulla. In 2007, he won the English adult boxing championship in the bantamweight division (at the height of 175 cm Campbell should weigh no more than 56 kg). A year later, the athlete defended the title with a victory over Garrett Smith. The level allowed Campbell to represent England at the European Championships in Liverpool in 2008.

In the quarterfinals he won the Olympic bronze medalist from Moldova Vyacheslav Goyan, and in the semifinals - the German Denis Makarov. Before the title of European champion, the athlete remained one step away. In a fierce battle with Bulgarian Detelin Dalakliev Campbell was stronger. He became the first Englishman to win the title since 1961.

The following year, Campbell began preparing for the Summer Olympics in London. On the way to Olympic gold in front of Campbell stood famous boxers: Irishman Joe Nevin, Italian Vittorio Parrinello, already known opponent Detelin Dalakliev, Japanese Satoshi Shimizu.

In the end, Campbell won the Olympic Games, becoming the first Englishman in lightweight, who managed to do so since 1908. In honor of this, in 2013, Campbell was ordained a Knight of the Order of the British Empire. At this stage the amateur career ended.

Campbell's first professional fight took place on July 13, 2013 in his native Gull. Andy Harris failed to resist the enemy's blows and surrendered in the 2nd minute. Victory after victory - and now Campbell was the first to stop Scott Moises.

In April 2014, the athlete announced a break. His father was diagnosed with cancer, and Campbell wanted to be by his side. However, in the same year the boxer entered the Octagon four more times. All the fights ended with the victory of the Englishman.

On August 1, 2015, Campbell won the vacant WBC International lightweight title in a fight against compatriot Tommy Cole. As of August 2019, the athlete lost only three times - Frenchman Jean-Paul Mendy in December 2015, Venezuelan Jorge Linares in September 2017 and Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko in August 2019. The only peak that Luke Campbell has yet to conquer is the world title.

Luke Campbell's wife is Linsey Kraanen, a Dutch model. They have been married since 2007. They have two sons.

Firstborn Luke and Linsey was born 5 weeks premature, so the boxer knows firsthand what it is like to be afraid to breathe over a premature baby. In March 2019, he donated funds to Gulla Hospital to maintain the health of premature babies.

Boxer does not like to put on display personal life, however, in "Instagram" periodically appear pictures with his wife and boys.

On August 31, 2019, the Englishman lost to Vasyl Lomachenko the world title. Athletes lasted all 12 rounds, and the judges unanimously awarded the victory to the Ukrainian. He took three championship titles at once - according to the Versions of the World Boxing Organization (WBO), Association (WBA) and Council (WBC).

After the fight, Campbell said he was disappointed with himself, but now he does not intend to give up:

2008 - European Boxing Championships gold medalist

2009 - European Amateur Boxing Champion

2011 - World Boxing Championships silver medallist

2012 - Summer Olympic gold medalist
