Topclassboxing.co.uk HOW ARE YOU AND HOWS TRAINING GOING?? Nate Campbell: THANK YOU FOR ASKING, TRAINING IS GOING GREAT Topclassboxing.co.uk Congratulations on a good win against Matt Zegan what did this fight mean to you after getting robbed in my opinion against Isaac Hlatshwayo??? Nate Campbell: WELL THE ZEAGAN FIGHT WAS BIG BECAUSE I JUST WANTED TO SEND A STATEMENT TO THE MASSES THAT IF YOU PUT ME IN WITH A 135 POUNDER I WIN EASY. HLATSHWAYO WAS JUST NOT A LIGHTWEIGHT AND THAT IS WHY HE FOUGHT SO POORLY AGAINST HOLT HE KILLED HIS BODY EVEN AT 140 HE IS AT LEAST A 147 POUNDER. KENDALL FOUGHT A GREAT FIGHT SO KUDOS TO HIM.
You have been a fighter that has never ducked a challenge and that shows from your impressive record, You have fought the likes of Joel Casamayor Almazbek Raiymkulov and Matt Zegan which of the fighters was your hardest opponent and why??
