Luis Ramón "Yori Boy" Campas Medina, born on August 6, 1971, in Navojoa, Sonora, Mexico, is a former professional boxer who competed from 1987 to 2019. He held the IBF light middleweight title from 1997 to 1998.

Campas began his professional career at the age of fifteen, winning his first thirteen fights by knockout. He built a record of 56-0 with 50 knockouts before challenging Félix Trinidad for the IBF welterweight title in 1994, losing by a fourth-round technical knockout.

After a second unsuccessful world title attempt against José Luis Lopez in 1996, Campas moved up to the light middleweight division. He captured the IBF light middleweight title by knocking out Raul Marquez in 1997 and defended it three times before losing to Fernando Vargas in 1998.

Throughout his career, Campas faced notable opponents such as Oba Carr, Tony Ayala, Daniel Santos, and Oscar De La Hoya. His 2006 fight against John Duddy was a candidate for the Fight of the Year.

On March 30, 2012, Campas achieved his 100th career win by knocking out Mauro Lucero in the second round. He continued fighting until July 29, 2023, when he retired at the age of 51 after knocking out Juan Carlos Parra Rodriguez in the 8th round. Campas finished his career with a record of 108 wins, 17 losses, and 3 draws.
