Last night at BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, FL, lightweight Nate Campbell held off a good challenge by South Africa's Ali Funeka to win a majority decision over twelve rounds to lead the way on a massive Don King promoted fight card.

Campbell's IBF, WBA and WBO titles were not on the line as he had been stripped of the belts the day before when he could not make the lightweight limit of 135 pounds.

Still showing surprising stamina at 36 years of age, Campbell put on a good effort but it was the knockdowns of Funeka in the second and eleventh rounds that would win him the contest after 12 competitive rounds.

The native Floridian won two of the cards by scores of 115-111 and 114-112 while Funeka managed to pull even on the third at 113-113.

Campbell moves to 33-5-1 (25) in his final bout at lightweight as he will now campaign at 140 pounds while Funeka sees a 16 bout win streak snapped and falls to 30-2-2 (25). More...
