    Fank Warren will probably agree if Terry O'Connor or Dave Paris get to referee this highly anticipated bout.
    Mitchell points is my tip.

    I think Katsidis is on the improve after the Diaz fight....his last few runs have been very good.....Eskebdo would have given him problems a few years ago.

    I hope the fight comes to Brisbane....I agree with Goodnight....home ground will make a big difference

    I'd be surprised if this happens in Australia? I hope it does, but it would be surprising in my opinion.

    Mitchell is as London as they come being an EastEnder and Katsidis enjoy's massive respect in London and the UK because of the Graham Earl fight. This is a London - Wembley or O2 Arena fight.

    Why also would Frank Warren put on a promotion here, when in essence, because of the GBP vs AU dollar, he fundamentally only returns half the money?

    It would have to be a huge promotion here to justify the effort so to speak as his numbers halve when converting back to his currency.

    I hope so and has the makings for a great fight, but not holding my breath being held in Australia.

    New Zealand amateur sensation LETI LETI has signed with TKO Boxing Promotions. The announcement was made by Leti’s Las Vegas-based manager Cameron Dunkin.

    A native of Samoa, Leti, 22, one of New Zealand’s most decorated amateur fighters, made his professional debut last month, in Auckland, New Zealand, knocking out Aaron Bartlett in the first round of their January 31st bout. Leti will be campaigning as a welterweight.

    “Leti is the goods and the hottest prospect to come out of the Samoa-New Zealand region since David Tua,” said Dunkin.

    “After winning many important amateur titles representing his countries, we thought it was important for him to make his professional debut in front of his countrymen before moving him to the United States where he will be exposed to a new audience and U.S. television. Leti is going to be a bright light on the international stage and TKO Promotions is the perfect promoter to make him a star.”
