    Kevin is in no way responsible for this fight not happening and he is not responsible for the replacement opponent either. What's he supposed to do? Turn down a payday he's trained weeks for?

    I dont think the board would sanction it, he must have a better record which his african promoter has provided and had verified...

    EDIT: Apparently his record is 11-1, so not as bad, but still poor.

    That makes it just about credible I suppose. I've still got the hump though, I've been watching Kevin since he was a schoolboy (I used to work with his sister and she made me;-) and was really looking forward to his first big test since the amateurs.

    don't forget tshifhiwa munyai was virtually unknown and only 11-0-1 when he was called in to fight for the commonwealth title against martin power at shortnotice....

    doubt anything similiar will happen this time though

    :lol::lol:

    What on earth suggests he would easily KO him? Mitchell has never looked to have anything other than a solid chin (admitedly against not great opposition) and Foster is not a particularly big puncher. Johannson is a much bigger puncher than Foster so if they were prepared to let Mitchell fight him then what suggests they would be scared of Foster?
