Local boxer Luke Campbell is in the semi-final of the bantamweight event

Hull's looking for its very own gold medal today.

Local boxer Luke Campbell is in the semi final of the bantamweight at the Olympics this afternoon, facing Japan's Satoshi Shimizu.

He beat Bulgarian Detelin Dalakliev in the quarter-final last week and is guranteed at least a bronze medal.

Mike Bromby from St Paul's Boxing Club, where Campbell trains, says Luke's particularly proud of his Hull roots and that, having learnt from the disappointment of missing Beijing in 2008, he doesn't want his Olympics to end today.
