    Don't get me wrong. Mitchell will have to play the "West Ham" card to the max but it will generate a lot of interest. West Ham's season will be over by then and the possibility exists of rival London firms coming over to take the ****: especially Millwall.

    Honestly, this could be huge and Frank Warren knows it but it has to be hyped.

    Or alternatively, another 50/60,000 extra potential punters in the capital looking for a night out after the cup final.:think

    i really cant see this happening. im predicting a late change of venue. there isnt the demand for mitchell, katsidis is practically unknown to the casual fan and theres no big ticket seller on the undercard. to my memory by most posters on the british forum bernard dunnes wba superbantam win wasnt a 'real' world title so how is this any different?

    explaining to people that juan manuel marquez holds the wbo world lightweight belt, but mitchell will be the wbo champion? judging by the attitude to dunne on here not many would buy into it and affect ticket sales.


    warren is in an intersting position. he has always had the 'main fighter' to some extent in the uk since lewis retired but now he doesnt really have anyone which means he is going to push quickly some fighters which in terms of entertainment for us can only be a good thing.


    heres a question, if mitchell loses, who will be in your opinion the next frank warren promoted world title holder?

    I think either Nathan Cleverly or Kell Brook.

    he will manouvre somebody somehow he always does he will get a famous boxing name and his prospect will beat him. Kell Brook vs Cotto not a bad shout on that front he will probably push Clev forward fast when he graduates. Either that or Frank might look to make some sort of domestic tournament possibly at Heavyweight? That would produce maybe not a champion but a well known name for the British public to get behind. Possibly expect a fighter to switch stable (Froch?)

    The fight doesnt have the angle of David vs Goliath i mean the boxing ashes Kastidis out for revenge!!! doesnt have much of a ring to it. Also when a casual Brit here heavywieght they go omg mike Tyson ding this guy must be better than him. There is just not the same click with lower wieghts never will be
