Leo and Lincoln have signed with MOT Models agency and are exploring the field at a very young age. In an interaction with Daily Mail, Campbell revealed why his sons are turning their attention to modeling.

“They’re both good-looking kids and Lynsey, and I want to give them all the opportunities in life that we can. Lynsey and I have experience in modelling, MOT Models have a really nurturing atmosphere.

“We can’t wait to get the whole family’s career started,” said Campbell.

Aged 33. Campbell still has a number of years left in the boxing circuit. He has an impressive professional record of 20 wins and 3 losses and has already set his hands once on the WBC lightweight title.

However, if he wishes to become a world champion again, there are several looming opponents on the chart. Firstly, Campbell needs to overcome Ryan Garcia for the WBC Interim strap. After that, he can enter the title ride with legitimate challenges in Teofimo Lopez or Devin Haney.

Do you think Luke Campbell can vanquish Ryan Garcia in their upcoming fight?
