I'm gonna go to this I think.
Kevin Mitchell will be fighting a WBO fighter in the top 10 according to Boxingnews mag.
That would interest me more than Willie Limond to be honest. Limond is tidy, but he hasn't got the pop to get any respect from Mitchell.Comment

DEL BOY WAITS ON MCDERMOTT
English heavyweight title contender Derek Chisora has been told that he has to wait for a crack at John McDermott.
Chisora has been nominated to fight for the vacant title alongside former champion McDermott.
He was controversially beaten by Tyson Fury, who gave up the belt because of injury.
Del Boy, unbeaten in 11 fights and being touted as a hot prospect by promoter Frank Warren, had hoped to land a shot at McDermott on February 20 at Wembley Arena.
But he was left disappointed when McDermott's team said that he wasn't ready for the fight.
Instead, it will now go to a purse bid in the New Year.
"I've got to wait for McDermott to lose a few pounds or something," said Chisora.
"I's cool because I'm still going to knock him out when the fight finally goes on.
"McDermott hasn't impressed me much. He should have beaten Tyson Fury, he was unlucky not to get the decision, but Fury is nothing anyway so I'm not losing much sleep over that."
Chisora will now fight in an eight rounder at Wembley Arena, a venue close to his Finchley home in North London.
And the 25-year-old has already got ambitions beyond the English title, with one eye on the winner of Sam Sexton's clash with Danny Williams for the British and Commonwealth titles.
Chisora is hoping that he will get first crack at the victor, although admits he only has himself to blame for having to wait.
"I should have been fighting Danny in the summer, but I got myself banned for biting," he said. "It was a ****** thing to do and, pardon the pun, it's come back to bite me.
"I've also knocked out Sam Sexton, so while I understand why he's fighting Danny next, of course I'm disappointed that it's not me there.
"But I know as soon as I get the chance, I'll be British and Commonwealth champion."

I'd be surprised if they did that. It's a well-stacked card, but I can't see many people willing to pay for it.Comment
