True. I'm going to Haye-Ruiz with 3 non-boxing fan mates. I'd have never convinced them to go if that was middleweight or welterweight fight.

Mitchell will get a great turn out , i will be certainly heading down there , London is a fight city and they will be there in there droans no doubt , 22 - 25'000 imo !!!!!!
Mitchell v Katsidis fight is 10 times better than Khan v Paulie, and it is a Upton Park. Don't think Warren is missing Khan too much now and perhaps it was a good thing for all concerned that Khan is away to the States - the spotlight can now be shone on other good prospects.
They can easily fill it. The Aussies love their sport, there will be about 10,000 easily. Plus the West Ham fans, maybe 5,000, then those who know this fight will be a belter another 5,000. I went to a friendly at Craven Cottage a few years back for Australia v Norway and it was full. Field of dreams if you build it they will come, a stadium is no problem for this fight..
I'll be shocked if they fill the stadium, to be honest I'd rather katsidis won purely because I wanna see more of his fights on tv. To me mitchell isn't someone who can evoke the emotion of wanting him to win like hatton, calzaghe, haye. I think mitchell is more likely going to be a froch-esque character as his fame increases in the sense people will always say khan would beat him.
Is it just me or are none of the ticket sites working? The Warren link cannot be displayed, the West Ham site makes no mention of the fight and SeeTickets are just rapists. Oh and the location on SeeTickets is 'secret'. **** OFF! Why the **** would I buy tickets for a secret ****ing location? Could be the worst venue going and I could buy some shocking seats. GOLLY GOSH!!! AND!!!... The ticket type says 'SEATS'. No mention of upper tier, lower tier, ringside. Just 'SEATS'. Well thankyou for providing seats then. ****!
Danny Williams vs Sam Sexton I think was confirmed for the bill already. So the bill could look something like this: Mitchell vs Katsidis Williams vs Sexton Hall vs Vitu Cleverly vs Lacy (I'm not joking, could be easy to sell :yep) Bellew vs McIntosh Gavin vs Morrison DeGale vs Dodson It's going to have to be a very solid undercard to be able to fill Upton Park, that is why I am being optimistic :yep
