    I highly doubt it and its not advisable

    I doubt it because he quit boxing whilst in camp saying he had no motivation left to fight

    Its not advisable because he has never had a defence and in his last 3-4 fights it was clear his punch resistance was declined signficantly, as a cumulative affect of eating so much dirt over the years. He was hardly the kind of fighter who would even win a domestic match up without building up some miles on the clock.

    At this point he only comes back if he has made a hash of his finances and is broke

    Maybe he wants the burns/crolla winner?

    Not saying he beats both but can see him giving a good account against them

    He was stopped years ago by Burns - he doesn't have a great defence, never has.
    He has had a war with Linares as well the miles are on the clock. if he comes back against either Crolla or Burns he gets stopped inside 3

    burns and crolla have'nt looked great of late and Mitchell had linares in all sorts of trouble not so long ago

    I say he deserves a shot

    He's not coming back. He's joked about it, but that's about it.

    No he's not coming back, just running with the lads and eating healthy

    Hopefully he does well in his new role as a trainer!

    Would be more appropriate to stick yesterday's men - Crolla, Skippy Burns, Mitchell, John Murray etc in a PrizeFighter at the York Hall.

    The 2 Furys could get in the ring for a Tag Contest against David Haye and Tony Bellew to fill the spare time.

    I rate Mitchell far higher in terms of talent and ability than crolla and could still see him beating Anthony if he comes back with what he showed against linares. Burns I think is pretty far gone from his title days imo. Kevin had so much natural talent. I always felt he needed a good nutritionist to strengthen him up he always seemed more a natural super feather to me than LW.

    No, he'll end up a cabbage the way he's going. He already slurs his words badly.

    Loved Kevin Mitchell - probably my favourite British fighter. Absolute warrior - but hope this isn't true.
