By Gav Duthie: Kevin Mitchell 39-2 (29) will be hoping third time is a charm as he again prepares for a title shot against Jorge Linares 38-3 (25) on May 30th in London.
Not content with one title fight Eddie Hearn has also moved the Evgeny Gradovich 19-0-1 (9) v Lee Selby 20-1 (8) from its April date. Another third times a charm attempt to put Anthony Joshua 10-0 (10) against Kevin Johnson 29-6 (14) will be chief support.
Mitchell v Linares
The hope is that at age 30 Mitchell is finally ready for a world title. In my opinion he is one of the best boxers around not to win one.
