    He really regents his early party days

    The Katsidis preparation is a lesson to all prospects

    Read that with some sadness, you could always count on him for an entertaining fight a true warrior.

    I live near him and used to see him out a lot, I don't think he changed his lifestyle until he moved to matchroom. As a fan though he produced some great nights.

    His fight with John Murray was one of the best domestic tear ups seen in a long time.

    I actually thought Murray was going to smash him to pieces but fair play to Mitchell he hung in there and then produced a superb finish.

    Probably the best prospect in the uk when he turned over. In his own words... he partied too much and that changed him from been fckin dynamite to a good fighter.
    Good luck to him.

    This retirement has got comeback written all over it 12-18 months down the road he will be back !

    My bet is he will be on Prizefighter in the future which he will win , couple of fights then a World title challenge

    He has retired at the right time.

    He is a good example of why it is essential to live the life.

    Can't see it personally, a big reason he's retiring is because his punch resistance has gone. Even more so now he is training fighters in the matchroom gym.

    British Boxing's nearly man. He was a good fighter who just fell short of becoming a world champion. Perhaps if he had taken his career more seriously earlier on and knocked the boozing on the head, he would have won a world title. His best win was probably against John Murray, which doesn't do his talent the justice it deserved, in my opinion.
