[edit] Professional career

Known as "The Galaxxy Warrior", Campbell turned professional in 2000 and won his first 23 bouts, setting up a bout with cagey veteran Joel Casamayor in 2003. Casamayor won a unanimous decision. After the loss Campbell slipped into obscurity after two losses to Robbie Peden and a loss to Francisco Lorenzo. He stormed back on the scene in 2005 with a big win over prospect Almazbek Raiymkulov. In 2006 he lost to Isaac Hlatshwayo, but won an IBF title elminator against Matt Zegan. Instead of a title shot, Campbell's next bout was another eliminator, which he won over Ricky Quiles.
