Luke Campbell Investigated by British Police Over Alleged Sexual Images

Luke Campbell is being investigated by British police for allegedly showing unsolicited “naked and sexualized” pictures of himself to a female staff member. Campbell has been accused of summoning the staff member to his desk and showing her explicit images without consent.

Reform UK party and Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority said in response to the allegations that “Luke firmly denies the allegations.”

The staff member at the centre of the allegations claims she was shocked and humiliated by the incident. She also claims that her permanent job offer was later rescinded after the event.

About the source of the allegations, Reform UK and the Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority said: “They come from a disgruntled employee attempting to leverage a settlement in a meritless workplace dispute.”

Liberal Democrat politician Mike Ross has called for Campbell to step down until the investigation is concluded. Ross came in second to Campbell in last year’s election.

Campbell captured 35.8% of the vote and was elected as the first-ever strategic authority mayor for the UK’s Hull and East Yorkshire region in May 2025. He is a representative of the right- to far right-wing Reform UK party, led by Nigel Farage.

Campbell took gold at the 2012 London Olympics as a bantamweight. Known by the nickname “Cool Hand” during his fighting career, he challenged for world titles against Jorge Linares and Vasyl Lomachenko in addition to Ryan Garcia.

Campbell retired in 2021 after being stopped by Ryan Garcia in seven rounds for the WBC Interim world lightweight championship. He compiled a final professional record of 20-4 (16 KOs). Campbell has reportedly been questioned by police, and no charges have been filed and no arrests have been made over the incident.
