Really looking forward to this one. Katsidis will be the ultimate test for Mitchell. He could be a good one if he can weather the storm.

I have my man Katsidis by UD though. Close fight.

Whoever's side wins the bid gets home town advantage which will be big in this matchup.

Warren will want this to come to the UK. It is a dangerous fight for Mitchell and one that could grab a lot of media attention. With Khan now split from Warren he needs another fighter with a big name and this fight do put Mitchell right up there. It is going to be a very hard fight for Mitchell but one where he can make a name for himself.

Seems unlikely GBP (who promote Katsidis in the States) will have anything to do with the purse bid (right?), so this means it comes down to Warren's money versus whatever money Katsidis and his sponsors can drum up. Surely Warren will easily outbid the Katsidis camp? What is the likely outcome?
