Luke Campbell is training alongside world champion Guillermo Rigondeaux ahead of facing Tommy Coyle in the 'Rumble on the Humber.'

The 27-year-old Olympic champion takes on local rival Tommy Coyle at Hull's Craven Park on August 1 - live on Sky Sports - and Campbell is currently on a training camp in Miami with world super-bantamweight champion Rigondeaux and his trainer Jorge Rubio.

Campbell (11-0-0-KO9) said: "This is my third camp out in Miami so far this year so I know the routine and how to get the best out of my time here," said Campbell.

"That helps out here as it's hot as hell and humid, making the work we are doing even tougher.

"Usually I just come with my strength and conditioning coach, Jack Latus, but this trip we have brought a bigger team and that has created a great energy and spirit at all training sessions.

"That's especially true with my training partner Tom Knight, who has just been excited by everything.

"Tom is gaining some great experience and knowledge from the attention to detail that Jorge applies to his boxing sessions. It has also been great to have Mike Bromby over here with us.

"Watching Jorge working with Tom and myself is invaluable for Mike to learn different training techniques and coaching methods."

The stellar night of boxing at Craven Park will also feature former world champion Ricky Burns, Brian Rose and Martin J Ward.
