    I am shocked that Hearn hasn't pushed the Mitchell fight more. He is a world class fighter, who has fought for a world title twice. He should have been the main event alongside Joshua, not underneath him. I assume the show is close to a sell out because Hearn is not promoting this as much as I would like to see.

    Kev's not a world class fighter until he cuts it at world level. I like Kev, but when he has stepped up to that level he's been found wanting - would love to see him bag himself a title though as he is talented.

    The overall card is a bit of a stinker to be honest.

    Yes, but surely pride and reputation comes into it, as well as long term media profile for Mitchell

    I agree with that to be fair, TKO3 and TKO4 would be forever be attached to his legacy if he were to retire today. However, Micky Bey and Omar Figueroa are very winnable world title fights for Mitchell.

    Whilst I will be watching the whole card, I feel it is missing a second big fight or spectacle, which is what AJ would have delivered. Excited for the Boylan-Martin and Goodjohn-Hibbert fights though, proper 50/50 fights.
