John Murray vs Kevin Mitchell back on for the summer

In England, one of the biggest domestic fights would match European lightweight champion John Murray (31-0, 18 KOs) against Kevin Mitchell (31-1, 23 KOs). It was a bout that was supposed to take place in April, but there were issues finalizing the deal, so Murray defended against somebody else. But now they are on the same page, and promoter Frank Warren said he has signed the fight to take place in London on a summer date to be announced. "I thought Mitchell had bottled it once and for all when he turned down the opportunity to fight me last month, but I am glad he has finally put pen to paper, as this fight has been a long time coming and, apart from the world title, this is the only meaningful challenge left for me in the U.K.," Murray said. Said Mitchell: "Murray's done well, but he hasn't faced me yet, and if he had we wouldn't keep hearing about his unbeaten record. I was 31-0, too, with more stoppages than him, until I lost out in my 32nd fight, which he will too."
