    he can forget about Katsidis, he has his eyes set on a world title.

    the size difference in them alone was scary.

    he needs to get back down to Super Featherweight.

    130lbs and Ricky Burns is his best chance of cracking the 'World' scene (essentially Euro level@130 bar Uchiyama and Fana, and even those are very good rather than 'Elite' level IMO) although Murray is winnable and bloody exciting.

    Katsidis?!?!? Mitchell wouldn't beat him in ten attempts. No doubt he'll fight five or six jokers before being given another push, in which he'll be ill-prepared and outclassed again. Someone like Antillon at 135 would batter him, maybe Tony DeMarco would be a good gauge of his level?

    I think DeMarco would stop Mitchell.

    I certainly wouldnt pay to watch him take on katsidis again!!!

    Thousands of us paid good money for that joke of an event at upton park and he didnt prepare or take the oppourtunity seriously.

    Get in line mitchell!!!

    I like the sound of the Murray fight, would be a good scrap. He hasnt a ****in hope of ever fighting Katsidis again so he can forget about that one.

    He's wasting his time if his career goes like before c level fighter after c level fighter and then the sudden step up? This from someone whose best achievement as an amateur was an ABA title. Good fighter is Mitchell but he needs to show us what he's made of now- I have a horrible feeling he's going to Alex Arthur on us.

    Hopefully in his next bout he does himself justice as if he turns in another pathetic performance, he can forget about any world stage aspirations

    I think Murrays a good fight for him, its a solid all british match-up and if Mitchell boxes clever he is more than capable of beating Murray. It would be good for Murray too as Mitchell has had a bit of exposure with his bouts against Prescott and Katsidis and it would be the perfect set-up to a world title bout (if he wins) especially if it gets on tv (which it would).
    A win for Mitchell puts him back on track and a win for Murray puts him in line for a title crack

    I wouldnt mind seeing him against Katsidas again. :hey

    There was some folks here saying Michell was outboxing him until he got clocked and that the stoppage was premature. So lets set the record straight and have another go at it.

    British world title challenger Kevin Mitchell wants a rematch with the only man to have beaten him - Michael Katsidis.
    Mitchell was stopped by Katsidis in an interim WBO lightweight title challenge at Upton Park last May.
    He hasn't fought since after aggravating an eye injury against the Australian.
    But he is hoping to return to action in March, and is desperate for a rematch against Katsidis.
    And he says if that fight doesn't happen, he would love a showdown with European lightweight champion John Murray.
    Mitchell's promoter, Frank Warren, has indicated recently that he would be keen to work with Murray.
    The Mancunian replaced Mitchell as the British boxer with the longest undefeated streak following his loss to Katsidis.
    "I had an eye jnury before the Katsidis fight and thought it was ok, but it came back during the fight and I split my eye muscle," said Mitchell in an interview with the Main Event Radio Show.
    "I had the operation done and hope to be back after getting my [boxing] license back. John Murray would be a good domestic fight and could fill any stadium. We could do it in Birmingham, meet each other half way, but the one I really want is Katsidis back."
    Mitchell is a former British and Commonwealth super-featherweight champion.
