Kevin Mitchell is looking brazen to fighting again after claiming he has won his conflict with a bottle.

Mitchell, 28, admits he went off a rails after his marvellous win over a previously-unbeaten John Murray in July and was celebration heavily.

The lightweight says he has sobered adult and is targeting a universe pretension shot in 2012 opposite possibly Brandon Rios or Scotland’s Ricky Burns as he prepares to lapse to a ring on Feb 10 during York Hall.
 
“I was on a downward turn and could have finished adult in jail since of my drinking, yet I’ve had a good flog adult a backside and we realize that we wish to turn a universe champion,” pronounced a Dagenham Destroyer.
 
“I mislaid it final year even yet we had a good win over Murray, yet I’m looking brazen to returning to a York Hall with my home throng behind me.
 
“I’m not a seducer anymore and from now on I’m critical about winning a universe pretension and creation copiousness of income to secure my future.”

Mitchell stopped a ­previously dominant Murray with an eighth turn stoppage. The better meant that Murray’s record of 31 fights unbeaten, a longest ­invincible run in British boxing, was over.

Mitchell constructed a best arrangement of his pro career to answer critics who pronounced he was finished after a ruinous better by Michael Katsidis in his final outing.

He had been out of a ring for 14 months as he put his career and life behind together after a Katsidis loss. Mitchell suggested after that defeat, that was his initial pro loss, that he had not lerned scrupulously since of personal problems.
