Campbell wins historic gold medal

Luke Campbell became England's first European amateur champion for 47 years after beating Detelin Dalakliev.

The 21-year-old bantamweight from Hull claimed the victory on countback after the bout ended 5-5.

Campbell had been leading by a point with only two seconds left before the Bulgarian brought the scores level.

But Campbell claimed the victory having thrown more punches than his opponent during a thrilling encounter in Liverpool on Saturday.

Campbell was the only member of a young British team to make it through to a final.

Many of the GB Olympic team, including gold-medallist James DeGale, opted to miss the tournament while considering whether to turn professional.

The last Englishman to win a European amateur title was Frankie Taylor who triumphed in Belgrade in 1961.

Ireland picked up three bronze medals at the championships.
