    Roman Martinez vs. Kevin Mitchell in July at O2 Arena?

    It seems promoter Frank Warren is working on a deal to bring back WBO super featherweight champion Roman Martinez (22-0, 13KOs) to the UK. Warren is in talks for Martinez to face Kevin Mitchell (27-0, 20KOs) in July at London's O2 Arena. Mitchell would have to win a scheduled fight on May 22 to make the fight happen. Martinez made his debut in the UK last month, knocking out Nicky Cook to win the title. [details]

    When Roman won that fight, Frank Warren punched the air in triumph at least metaphorically.

    Kevin Mitchell is going to be a big ticket-seller and potentially his new Hatton. Martinez is a beatable and Kevin Mitchell never wanted to fight Cooke as Cooke's dad trains him and they're great mates.

            Mitchell has one the day b4, if both are successful am pretty sure F Warren has the money to make Rocky go back to the UK and fight Mitchell. Anyways a tough fight for both undefeated young fighters..

              This is the thing, ROcky is aleady set to fight in PR, because he wants his first defense to be here.

              Waren have to really over pay Rocky to get him back in the UK.

                I don't think so. Warren can provide Martinez with much more money than he could get anywhere else. Huge money fight in the UK, and comparatively worthless anywhere else in purely financial terms, so it will happen in the UK. In other words, an offer he can't refuse.

                Mitchell is fighting in May anyway, so I assume Warren is assuming both fighters will win to set up the match.

                  I have to agree.

                  Apparently Warren does a good job on hyping their fighters so he could attract people.
