Kevin Mitchell back in Jan

[Grays_Dan]

Just posted on his facebook that he will be back on the ring in January. Possibly York Hall.

That's made my day

Great to hear...

Shame He couldnt of got into the ring sooner after the Katsidis fight, but He think He had A back injury or something...

Who is He fighting???

I thought Dias may of been A good fight, He lost to Marquez who is now fighting Katsidis, would of made sense...

I doubt he will come back at that level.

of course he wont now, not after the amount of time hes had out... after a couple warm up fights maybe, would raise his profile in america...

Knowing the route FW normally goes down with his damaged fighters who need building back up, Kev will end up coming back against a complete plum.

He didn't do a bad job with Khan did he.

Do you know it took me fully thirty seconds to stop thinking "Why would the boxing writer from the Grauniad be getting back in the ring" before I remembered. D'oh!

European route for Mitchell? I'm assuming Murray would be vacating if the Rios fight comes off? Mezaache, perhaps?

[whicker]

I can only see it being a VERY soft-touch fight.

Probably an European Journeyman type.

[Deno1986]

Someone like Matt Zegan would be a good fight. An opponent with a decent record but is not going to pose too much of a threat. It could be for the Poles WBO European Lightweight title.

No, please, the LAST thing we need is WBO versions of European titles etc...

Too much of that already!

Aren't the International/Inter-continental titles meant to be the alphabet bodies' version of a European regional title?

Those are bad enough, but a WBO European title is a very lowly belt.

Not really- they are contested Worldwide, and fighters come from anywhere. They are, at least nominally, the "second tier" of World belts.

This WBO European Champion business seems like a "rival" title to the EBU one.

The alphabet bodies have regional titles for other continents, but generally don't for Europe.

The International/Inter-Continental titles are mostly fought for by European fighters, but they can be fought for by any fighter from around the World.

He had an eye injury, which needed an op

[billy nelson]

The obvious fight is kevin v mitchell, Alex keeps telling us he wants the big fights so heres his chance?

Of course, but Khan fought Oisin Fagan after Prescott blasted him out of there. Expect a similar sort of opponent for Mitchell.

Looking forward to having Kev back on the scene

I remember that well, infact he was actually at the Excel that night. Cooky was supposed to have fought Stephen Foster for the WBO Superfeatherweight title. - Same night as Audley lost to Rogan
