Kevin Mitchell vs. Gary Sykes is in the works for Anthony Joshua's pro debut bill

They seem to be moving Kev back carefully. I would have preferred a fight with Derry Matthews or Gavin Rees, but I guess Sykes will have to do. I'm surprised Gary would take this since he's next in line for the Gary Buckland-Stephen Smith winner and has been so intent on fight Buckland again.

Sykes seems really underrated by a lot of people

the mitchell fight is massive for him, even bigger than a crack at his old british title

a win would do wonders for his career

Im liking this fight man. Gary Sykes is no pushover that's for sure and this bout should tell us more about Mitchell's current state of mind.

He claims to be a new man so im looking forward to his next run. Also, I heard John Murray wants a rematch and Mitchell claims he'd finish him even sooner next time..

MItchell deserves alot of credit for beating Murray btw. Murray was a beast! U see , had Kevin been in shape mentally and physically, the same thing would have happened to Burns..
