2012 UK Gold Medal winner Luke Campbell to make pro debut on Brook – Jones II card
2012 Olympic Gold Medal winner Luke Campbell is set to make his pro debut on July 13 in Hull, England according to Dan Rafael of espn.com
That bout will be paired with the rematch that will see Welterweights Kell Brook and Carson Jones square off in a bout for which Jones will look to get even after Brook scored an exciting victory last year.
“This is going to be a special night for Hull and a massive night for British boxing,” said promoter Eddie Hearn said.
“The whole city will have a chance to witness the start of Luke’s professional journey whilst also watching a huge card.”
“Kell Brook returns after a frustrating period, re-matching Carson Jones following their epic battle last July,” Hearn said.
“We took the fight for 20 percent of what he got in the first fight because he wanted the fight so badly,” Bobby Dobbs, Jones’ manager, said. “He left for camp [Tuesday] and Kell Brook is in trouble if he doesn’t pull out.”
