Brick Top Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 http://www.frankwarren.tv/drill/News/Articles/2009/11/03/mitchell-to-meet-prescott123.html Kevin Mitchell could be in line for a world title shot - if he beats Amir Khan conqueror Breidis Prescott. Promoter Frank Warren says he has matched the pair in a world title eliminator, although no more details of the fight are available. Mitchell is currently riding high at super-featherweight with the WBO, and has long targeted a fight for that belt. The British champion has suffered a number of injuries since winning his title 18 months ago, and has given up his Commonwealth belt. But he is now fully fit and looking to build on a series of impressive KO victories. The 25-year-old, who last boxed when he halted Rudy Encarnacion at the MEN Arena in July, has a 29-0 record with 22 stoppages. Prescott sprang to fame when he handed Khan his first defeat in September of last year, a spectacular first round KO in Manchester. The Colombian, 26, has boxed twice since, beating Humberto Toledo before losing a split decision to Miguel Vazquez in July and now stands at 21-1 (18). He is scheduled to fight for the WBO Intercontinental title at light-welterweight in Russia, although is more used to campaigning at lightweight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Prescott seems too big to get down to Super Feather so I assume the fight must be at Lightweight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironjab Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 usual warren angle, boil the fighter down to under his weight division so he comes in as weak as a kitten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miksid Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Yup i agree - Prescott can punch for sure, but a crafty fight plan and careful defence should see him lose quite comfortably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
