Anyone remember him from the Limond fight? He's also been in with Djelti and Zegan, might be a decent test.

Doesn't have the power to trouble Mitchell, first guy to land a good power punch on that high chin of Mitchells will put him to sleep.

Decentish fighter, was beating an unmotivated Djelti before getting stopped, but Willie Limond (who I'm not convinced about) did outclass him.

I'm happy with this guy fighting Mitchell, he's got a decent chin and skills, If Djibaba comes to win and not just for the payday, then he could cause Mitchell some problems.

A good learning fight this one

Saw this guy up close fighting Willie Limond. He'll look a lot smaller than Mitchell, but he should meet him head on and stick with him till at least the midway stage. Hopefully it'll go the full 10 - but the Frenchman can be very ragged and will likely tire toward the close. Still, at least he won't be afraid to mix it up. Hopefully.

The fight with Limond was something of a sloppy grinder but that probably had more to do with the way Willie always manages to smother his best punches.

If it's anything like the German International title it's a title that run by the Polish Boxing Union(or federation/whatever they are called)but can be faught for by fighters from any country. Basically it's a bogus title .

If its like the german international title its for fighters that holds a german licens, but they dont have to be german citizens (Like the british masters title?)
