    if it's true, I am pleased he's retired. It's not nice seeing a true legend of the ring turn into a punchbag.
    What I don't understand about all of this is why he has got Russian citizenship? if it was because they would let him continue his career, I could see that, but why go through all the rigmarole.

    Yeah , just saw that . I'm gutted to be honest, Mitchell is one of my favourite fighters , I was at the O2 when he fought Johanssen, it was a cracker. Mitchell is a proper boxer with good "old school" mentality.
    Although I'm gutted , I'm also pleased he's been honest with himself and realises he's not feeling it anymore. That's the hardest thing for fighters to do really, especially because he's only 31. I don't want him getting seriously hurt.
    Wouldn't surprise me to see him back in the ring in 18 months time , (or in nick!) I really wish him all the best for the future.

    Great news and a long time coming. Wish the best for him and like to see him concentrate efforts Stateside with a few fighters. Still don't get the whole Russian citizenship thing.

    I think the Russian citizenship was more part of a business venture than anything else. The guy promoting his fights was using him as a front man for a bunch of gyms/fitness centres/boxing gyms. Maybe after that last sparkage he doesn't have enough cachet over there to have any commercial value. Somehow I can't see him learning Russian and living over there now.

    Thank Jeebus he's retired though.

    Shows you how far Roy Jones has fallen that Kevin Mitchell retiring is also mentioned in his thread.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Why did you add Kevin Mitchell retiring in this thread? Jones deserves a thread of his own.

    I added it because there's just as many posts in the thread about Mitchell.

    I can remove Mitchell if it's a problem

    My fault I think, but if you want to take Mitchell off can we start a new thread and put my Mitchell posts on there? 😄
