Description : Here we have the original onsite poster for the return of one of the greatest. most avoided Super/Featherweights of all time. Mitchell turned pro in 1981 and captured the WBA Super Featherweight Title in 1986 with a TKO over Alfredo Layne. He defended the title a record 11 times, and never lost a title fight. In 1991 he also captured the IBF Super Featherweight Title with a decision win over Tony Lopez (who he'd previously fought to a draw). He retired after the fight, and came back briefly in 1994 for two local bouts, retiring completely in 1995 with a professional record of 45-1-3.
Quite possibly the best South African boxer of all time, due to South Africa's apartheid policy during those times, Mitchell became a true 'road warrior', defending his title almost exclusively abroad. He finished his career with 45 wins, a solitary loss and three draws. His 12 successful defenses of the junior/lightweight title remain the record in that division to this day.
