Luke Campbell is not used to disappointment, but must wait a bit longer to banish thoughts of a rare lapse in his rising career.
Campbell is a young man with an old-fashioned attitude to boxing, distancing himself from the crude squabbles that act as a sideshow for many fights. When asked who he wants to challenge in the future, Campbell preferred to focus on his own career, rather than seek out a rivalry with others. "I'm not really one for calling out people. I think my performances will show and then people will be calling me out," he said. There are questions to be answered by Campbell as he strives to defeat another set of competitors, with a world title instead of a medal at stake for the victor. It remains to be seen whether he will wilt or rise in a sport where every challenger is keen to rip away his golden reputation. But not even Campbell is giving much away. "Time will soon tell," he said. "That's all I can say on that one."
