Scotland's WBO lightweight world champion Ricky Burns is still waiting on news of a venue and opponent for his July 1 fight. “Rickster” is set to make the third defence of the crown he won when beating Michael Katsidis on points for the interim belt in November of last year.

As much as Mitchell shouldn't be making outlandish financial demands, Team Burns have to give him more than they did Moses. Moses had no fan base and didn't even try to win. Mitchell has a lot more to offer than Paulus Moses and is coming off a big win over John Murray, who was unbeaten at the time. Something like 60-40 sounds about right.
