Seems a forgotten man.

No news on him at all now. By the time he fights it will be a year since he was in a proper fight.

There was talk of the Mendy rematch for a few months but nothing has materialised. He was also linked to a fight with Crolla but nothing happened.

He proved against Linares he can hold his own at world level. It's a shame because he has lost momentum.

Fairly sure the Mendy match has been agreed, and waiting on a date being finalised (likely to be the Joshua card).

Heard somewhere that Campbell vs Mendy has been mandated as a final eliminater

Same but it was about 3 months ago now.

I think they were waiting on the WBC belt to become vacant but Mikey Garcia is now staying at 135.

Saw a thing the other day about Garcia wanting to fight Spence at 147! Guy has balls man...

Yeah I thought he was after revenge his lost.which I anint bortherd about

Generally speaking, Matchroom fighters are not gaining momentum and remain less active than I think they should be

* actually maybe not particular to Matchroom.

I hope the Mendy fight happens.
Luke has gained a heck of a lot of experience since their first fight.
12 rounds almost holding his own with Linares is better than the last 6 of Mendy's fights combined.
Bring it on!

Yeah I think he'll definitely improve after the Linares experience. I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch of that over here actually after the Mendy rematch....

I think Loma took enough out of Linares for Campbell to come in and beat him, but then I'm a hopeless fanboy

Yeah possibly mate

I think the fight against Linares has done Campbell the world of good. I expect he'll deal with Mendy relatively easy.

On Joshua/Povetkin undercard.

A fight with Mendy is not worth a year of waiting for.

Why is Hearn keeping his fighters so inactive?

Does boxing really have to be run like this?
