Kevin Mitchell will meet Australian Michael Katsidis for the World Boxing Organisation lightweight title in London in May after promoter Frank Warren won the purse bids on Tuesday to stage the contest. It is believed that Warren bid $515,000 (£345,000) to win the purse bids which will afford the 25 year-old the opportunity of home advantage and the prospect of fighting Mexican legend Juan Manuel Marquez for the full WBO title later in the year.
The fight is for the full version of the title as Mitchell is the No1 contender and the champion, Juan Manuel Márquez, has been pursuing a fight with Ricky Hatton at light-welterweight. It will probably take place at the O2 Arena or Upton Park, home of Mitchell’s football team, West Ham United, and could draw more than 30,000 fans.
The 25-year-old Mitchell is unbeaten in 31 fights and in the form of his life, having seen off Amir Khan’s Colombian conqueror Breidis Prescott on points then knocking out Prescott’s compatriot Ignacio Mendoza in the second round in his last fight, three weeks ago.
Tickets are now on sale for Kevin Mitchell’s historic world lightweight title clash against Michael Katsidis at West Ham United’s world famous Boleyn Ground on Saturday 15th May. ‘Hammer Time’ is set to be the sporting event of the summer as Mitchell aims to be crowned world champion at the ground where football legends Bobby Moore and Sir Geoff Hurst plied their trade.
