[sweetscience]

are you going to train at the wildcard ? if yes, is that full time like Khan or 'parttime' like athur did

[Rocky Balboa]

Do you see yourself campaigning at 130lbs throughout the whole of your pro career or do you think you will outgrow the division?

[handles]

when you win the WBO will you defend against ricky burns and when will you defend your british title

[crusader]

If you win the WBO title how do you plan to separate yourself from other alphabet title holders and establish yourself as a legitimate world champion, not just "another" belt holder?

Who do you think the best fighter in the world at 130 pounds is (excluding yourself and Martinez)?

[jigsaw]

please feel free to ask a question we will try and repond to all

[junior pepa seed]

Do you feel the media dont give you as much credit as you deserve? I rate you as one of the best and you have the tools to be one of the greatest but most sports fans not in the boxing loop may have never heard of you unlike a Khan, Degale or Haye why is this? Good luck to mighty.

[hitman_hatton1]

any chance of u moving up to lightweight and taking on john murray?

as super feather is a bit dead even on the world scene right now.

[gemmell]

when you win the WBO will you defend against ricky burns and when will you defend your british title

yes kevin will definitely defend the wbo against burns if he beats martinez which i think he will..ricky burns is very average he says he would knok mitchell out and that mitchell has been ducking him for years! somehow i dont think so mitchell will knock burns out in 5..burns fought a bum last time round i i gave it a draw yet the scottish judges gave him like 8 points up!!!!!!!!

[robpalmer135]

why is Vinny still fighting 4 rounders and not started to fight slightly better ropponents.

[chinny]

is York Hall your favourite place to box? Can you tell us a bit about the different venues you've boxed at from the participants perspective? Thanks

Good luck for your title challenge

[doctorboxing]

You started your career in 2003 and have amassed an impressive 29-0 record but, apart from inter-continental titles, you have only fought for British and commonwealth titles. Why, with your obvious talent, has it taken so long to move onto the world stage?

What do you think of Yuri Gamboa, would you ever like to make a fight with him?

Your fight against Carl Johanssen was one of the best domestic fights I have seen in a long time, but even my neighbours could hear your mum screaming from ringside. Is she your most passionate fan?

Good luck for your fight with Martinez Kevin! (Then come up to Glasgow to defend against Ricky Burns, that would be a fantastic night and a great atmosphere)

[chinny]

Probably a bit early for this one, but what would you like to do after your boxing career is over?

You seemed to have a good rapport with Steve Bunce. Do you miss setanta's boxing coverage and the Bunce hour?

[Deserter]

Yuri Gamboa, would you ever like to make a fight with him?

Wish Mitchell all the best, but the thought of that fight being made chills me to the bone

[jigsaw]

Are you going to fight Martinez for the WBO title next? If so, then when?

Are you going to drop the British title soon? Or are you going to defend it?

[jigsaw]

yeah I will be heading to the wild card for a 6 week trainning camp
cant wait

[jigsaw]

Do you see yourself campaigning at 130lbs throughout the whole of your pro career or do you think you will outgrow the division?

I would like to win the wbo title first then defend it a few times, then go up to 135lbs. but ultimately I trust allegedly to guide my path

[jigsaw]

when you win the WBO will you defend against ricky burns and when will you defend your british title

ricky burns is a good pro and I will defend against anyone, so if that is the direction I take, great.

[jigsaw]
