    New poster but been lurking for a while.
    Luke Campbell to make a decision in the next two weeks regarding his future. What do you think should he turn pro yet?
    If he does will it be Eddie Hearn he chooses seen as he has been present at most matchroom events and rumours that he has been seen with Luke in Hull recently.
    Any thoughts?

    I heard he is signing with Goldenboy Uk and so is Joshua.

    Could well be a possibility, he has just got back from America after visiting various gyms and having "meetings" according to the local rag in Hull but I have also heard he was seen having lunch with Hearn after he got back so guess its between the two.

    Eddie Hearn met with Campbell on Wednesday or Thursday. They also met up a few weeks ago. Looks like he's signing with Matchroom.

    GBP might be offering more money but Matchroom might be better for his career progression & they'll probably keep him more active.

    Luke will need to make a lot of adjustments to his style to do well as a pro, of all the team GB olympians he has perhaps the most "amateur" style.

    Out of all the British Olympians he has the style most unsuited to the pro's He's a tall rangy points scorer, cant see him being as effective as a pro.

    Luke will sign with Matchroom 100%. He has been too the last 3 shows, and they go lunch at least once a week, Hearn is breaking hes back trying to convince him to go pro, so he wont sign with anyone else.
