Luke Campbell (17-1, 14 KOs) is now on the verge of getting a title shot against WBA World lightweight champion Jorge Linares (42-3, 27 KOs). The World Boxing Association has ordered the 31-year-old Linares to defend his title against the #1 Campbell. The two fighters have 30 days to negotiate a deal before it goes to a purse bid.
What this likely means is Linares will probably need to fight Campbell in the UK. Linares has been fighting in the UK repeatedly in the last two years. He’s beaten Anthony Crolla [twice] and Kevin Mitchell in fights in the UK.
Linares has great luck in fighting in England with his 3-0 record in fighting over there.
