At the 2012 London Games, Luke Campbell became the first British boxer to win a bantamweight Olympic gold medal in more than 100 years. But when Campbell makes his pro debut, he do so as a lightweight. In the '12 Olympics, the bantamweight limit was 123 pounds. The professional lightweight limit is 135 pounds. That's a pretty significant jump for Campbell, who will kick off his pro career in a scheduled six-rounder against Andy Harris (2-5, 1 KO) on Saturday night at Craven Park, a rugby stadium in Campbell's hometown of Hull, England.
