His last fight was crucial for putting his career back on track. And while every bout is important for any prospect seeking to become a contender, and for any contender seeking to challenge for a world title, Seth Mitchell recognizes just how important his upcoming match with Chris Arreola will be.

Mitchell fought Banks again this past June, winning their rematch via unanimous decision broadcast on Showtime. And it is on that network that Mitchell will meet Arreola on a Sept. 7 show at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, Calif.
