    HULL boxer Luke Campbell MBE has withdrawn from his planned fight at Hull Arena on March 7 due to the ill health of his father.

    The Olympic Gold medallist was set to feature in a huge city clash, as Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn looks to set-up an all-Hull Lightweight blockbuster with Tommy Coyle in the summer.

    However, Campbell has once again taken a break from the sport to be nearer to his family, following an earlier absence in April 2014, before returning in July last year.

    “After a period in intensive care, my Dad has now been moved to Dove House Hospice and I feel it’s important that I spend every second possible with my family,” said Campbell.

    “I hope that the fans understand my decision and I shall be back in action soon.”

    The Hull Arena show on March 7 will still go ahead, with Campbell’s fight set to be replaced on the card and Coyle still due to face Martin Gethin.

    Fans that require refunds for the show should contact their point of purchase.
