BOXING champ Kevin Mitchell and his mum have been nicked on suspicion of possessing cocaine and running a cannabis farm.
Mitchell, 26, was held during an 8am raid on his family home following a tip-off.
Police, seen removing bags in Dagenham, East London, allegedly found white powder and cannabis plants.
Last night Mitchell's mum Alice O'Connor said: "I'm not prepared to talk."
Ex-British titleholder Mitchell - tipped as a future world champ - is set to fight European lightweight king John Murray in June.
He is being hauled in for talks today with "raging" promoter Frank Warren, who learned about the April 15 arrest from The Sun.
Cops said a woman aged 51 and a man, 26, had been bailed until June 10.

Dumb fvck!!!!!! This idiot has a full stadium willing to watch him fight, Since he lost to Kats he should have jump back on and try and get some fights in, I rated him highly 2-3 years ago but now am not so sure anymore.
Silly boy he's throwing His talent away
he seems to have lost the plot since the Katsidis defeat, it's been a year now and not so much as a warm up bout
By the looks of the house you'd think he was unemployed. :lol1:
He earned upwards of £80,000 for his fight against Katsidis. No way should he be living on a rough council estate haha.
Mitchell probably earns £20-30k every time he fights. Even if he only takes home around £30-50k after taxes, he can still live comfortably enough to not have to resort to growing weed.
Boxers are some of the dumbest people on the planet.

Mug. I had heard he had been on the gear on the lead up to the Katsidis fight too.
He certainly looked like he was on something in the few seconds after the fight.
On a serious note though, what a ****ing idiot. He earns a decent wedge from fighting, he's got a young kid/s, and despite the loss against Katsidis, could still achieve something in the sport.
The ****ing nugget

I wonder if any Mitchell strains have made their way into the USA.
:rofl:
I wonder if I have ever smoked weed grown by Kevin Mitchell or his mother.
