Luke Campbell has promised to put on a show when he steps up in class to face Daniel Brizuela for the WBA Inter-Continental lightweight title in Hull on October 25.

Brizeula lost a tempestuous clash with Campbell’s fellow Hull star Tommy Coyle in February but Olympic champion Campbell, 27, is confident he will deal with the Argentine in style.

“I don't care about his fight with Tommy, I am going to beat him convincingly,” said Campbell. “It's my first real test and everyone is saying that it's going to be a great fight, but whoever is put in front of me is going to get beaten.

“I've never really watched footage of my opponents before but I have watched this guy and see what we are going to do against him, but at the end of the day I am going to do what I am going to do and if he doesn't like it, he’s going to have to adapt.

I want to do it round by round. Do I need to do anything different? I don't think so. I just need to do what I do and the best that I can do it, and if I do that, he's in for a tough night.

“This is my toughest fight for sure, he's a strong guy, he got up a few times against Tommy and that shows he's durable and won't give up. He's going to come and bring his best and I want him to do that, because if he is at his best, then I will be at my best.

“I am looking for a breakdown job, I am not going to go in there and try and stop him like a mad man. It's boxing at the end of the day. I want to do it round by round. Do I need to do anything different? I don't think so. I just need to do what I do and the best that I can do it, and if I do that, he's in for a tough night.”

Coyle is also in action on the night at the Hull Arena, facing crowd-pleaser Michael Katsidis.
