Biography

Luke Campbell became the first Englishman to win European gold for 47 years in 2008 but missed the Beijing Games that year as Joe Murray had already qualified.

He spent most of 2009 sidelined following surgery on a tendon in his hand but went 23 bouts unbeaten upon his return. He qualified for London by reaching the last eight of the World Championships, eventually winning silver.

At the 2012 Olympics in London, Campbell won gold in men's bantamweight (56kg).
