Luke Campbell’s bid to make the impossible possible against Lomachenko

ON PAPER, tonight’s card at the O2 in London offers up some truly scintillating contests, spearheaded by the exciting prospect of being treated to another display of genius by arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world today, Ukraine’s Vasyl Lomachenko.

“Loma” has Britain’s Luke Campbell to contend with as he defends his WBA and WBO lightweight titles, with the vacant WBC belt also up for grabs.

No pressure then for Campbell, who despite being a former Olympic gold medal winner who’s previously challenged unsuccessfully for a world title, and who brings to the ring a professional record of 20 wins in 22 fights with two losses and no draws, tonight faces the most daunting challenge of his career.
