Murray - Mitchell

[J_C]

How dyou know this about Mitchell? Are you mates with boxers in his gym or anything? I just would like to know if this is hearsay or if you actually are speaking the truth from being in the know cos I quite fancy Murray for this one myself I already have a bet on him

To be quite honest mate, it's pretty much public knowledge among the London clubs. I heard from a fella at the Repton (not Mitchell's old club, he boxed for West Ham), but I trust that person not to spread unkind rumours. But, tbh mate everyone knows. He made no secret of it, at least after the Katsidis fight & I've heard it discussed by at least half a dozen people who definitely would know. It's a shame because he was a nice talent & what a boost it would've been for the guys at West Ham, of whom there's at least a couple I can think of who look like they could make excellent pros.

Cheers fo getting back to me so quickly. Ive heard a lot about the drinking problems, thats being doing the rounds. But I hadnt heard about other drugs (coke) although I guess thats part of the drink/drugs problem. I hadnt heard anything about him getting done over in sparring though. Is that sparring recent in the training camp for this fight or back when he was an alcoholic and in his time off etc
