‘I’m used to winning and I have that winning mentality‘ – Luke Campbell
About his loss against Ryan Garcia, Campbell said, “I’m hurting a little bit. Not physically, but mentally I’m hurting a little bit. It’s a real bitter pill to try and swallow. I’m used to winning and I have that winning mentality. I dedicate my full craft, my life to be dedicated just to win. When it doesn’t go your way it’s really sickening. I tick every box every day, to be the best I can be. It’s sickening when I don’t get that win.”
Speaking of his future in the sport, Luke Campbell said, “As far as I’m concerned, it’s not really come into my head about anything.
