WITH MAC I LUKE A CHAMP

- BY DAVID ANDERSON

LUKE CAMPBELL backs Shane Mcguigan to guide him to a world title as he did George Groves. Groves became world supermiddl­eweight champ at the fourth attempt when he joined Mcguigan (both below), and Campbell believes his new trainer will help him too after his failed title bid. “That’s one of the things that brought me to Shane,” said Campbell (left), who faces Yvan Mendy in a rematch and final eliminator for the

WBC lightweigh­t title. Finally, now 20 fights into my profession­al career, I’ve a strong team around me.”

Lawrence Okolie is inspired by his manager Anthony Joshua in his British cruiserwei­ght title clash with Matty Askin. “To see the pressure he’s under, yet he’s still level-headed, shows me these steps now are not something I should be overwhelme­d by,” he

said.
