Kevin Mitchell: Road to the Title

 

Written by Kane Jones

 

On September 22nd Kevin Mitchell will step into the ring for the most important fight of his life. Come midnight Saturday, he will either be World Champion, or on a long journey back up to challenging to be at the top. This journey to World Title challenger hasn't been without its ups and downs, pursuing this further I interview the Dagenham Destroyer and find out about the man himself. And to pose the question, "Have you got your head right Kev?"

 

As I leave Dagenham Heathway station on the walk to meet Kevin Mitchell, a man in the street spots a copy of Boxing Monthly on me and he then goes on to tell me how he remembers when Mitchell was up and coming , "everyone thought he was gonna be a world champ" he said as if Kevin Mitchell is no longer with us. As the walk continues I walk past the Dagenham ABC and can see through the condensation in the windows and see young kids working over a bag with wild aggression. This ain't no playground, these are kids fighting to be something, even at their young age, consequently, I begin to understand how much dedication would be required to reach the heights Mitchell has reached so far.
