Thats the most hilarious fight poster in the history of fight posters, Mitchel must be feeling like a right royal hoofter now.

If its genuine, the graphic designer on the job was definately having a laugh good on you mate, life's just to serious sometimes

P.S. any guesses on where Katsid's hammer is? D

Indeed, the website has been like that for weeks. Incredible.

Is this the Greek version of the poster? Or is Kev completely naked in that one?

[slapbangwhallop]

it must be the guy at FW that loves that oiled up gay shít because I remember they had an equally homoerotic poster of Khan for the Oisin Fagan fight.

rancid!

It could be argued that Kevin is being utterly heterosexual. When I saw the poster for the first time, I thought he was "turning Japanese" as he entered the "vinegar strokes".

that poster is seriously dubious....if they can't market a fight poster better than that.... ....but then again it's different!.....Good luck Kev, real tough fight, defnitely winnable tho. He and Khan are more or less my 2 favourites nowadays......not sure who I'd root for if they fought.........possibly the underdog

[Fatsam]

hahaha oh dear, that looks like a poster for some cheapo rip off wrestling down the local town hall.

[charlieb]

Jesus.

That's so, so wrong... I love it.

[forcefraser]

Christ Sakes, that is scary stuff.

Mitchell looks like the Ricky Gervais Genie in Extras.

Kevin Mitchell shoots for glory at Upton Park on May 15 when he challenges war-loving Michael Katsidis for the interim WBO lightweight title.
Mitchell, who boxed for West Ham as a celebrated amateur, has romped to 31 straight victories as a pro but needed only one to elevate him from unbeaten prospect to serious contender: a dazzling 12-round decision over Colombia's Breidis Prescott last December in Newcastle, the man who so famously destroyed Amir Khan in 54 stunning seconds a little earlier. The win proved that Mitchell, 25, has the mental strength and the chin to compete at top level and also proved his ability to move and box, after a career spent largely blowing out the opposition. Trained by Jimmy Tibbs, Mitchell can punch and box, which separates him from Katsidis, who simply loves to fight and fight some more.
Katsidis, an Aussie of Greek ancestry, made his way to Wembley in February 2007 and went to war with Graham Earl for five gut-wrenching rounds, climbing off the floor in a classic to 'ruin' the Luton man (ultimately pulled out by his corner) with a rugged, heavy handed, face-first approach which had Earl down three times, the Marquis of Queensberry turning in his grave and the big American promoters most definitely taking notice.
Katsidis was snapped up by Oscar De La Hoya and his Golden Boy Promotions and tore into Joel Casamayor and Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz on the way to a couple of heartbreaking defeats, his only defeats in 28 outings. Since dropping a split decision to Diaz in Houston in September 2008, Katsisdis, 29, has reeled off three victories and picked up the interim WBO belt with a typically bruising decision over Vicente Escobedo in Las Vegas last September. Katsidis finished looking like an extra from Evil Dead. He also looks a little vulnerable in the 'cold' stages of a fight. Both Earl and Casamayor had him down early, although keeping him down is a different matter.
While Katsidis does a tumble, soaks up too many punches and spills too much claret, he looks impossible to discourage. He will race out looking for a tear-up with Mitchell, who needs to get his jab working and working quickly. Mitchell's jab is a beautiful thing to behold at its best, a real jab. Yes, Katsidis hits hard and has fought at a higher level, but Mitchell hits pretty sharply himself and wins over Carl Johanneson, Walter Estrada and Prescott are not to be dismissed. After going for an early win, Mitchell mixes it up on the way to a thrilling points win in front of big home support.
