Boxing: Mitchell keen to restore US glory
WASHINGTON: Knee injuries in college destroyed Seth Mitchell’s dream of National Football League stardom, but the unbeaten American boxer has a new quest – to become the next great US heavyweight world champion. Mitchell, 23-0 with one drawn and 17 knockouts, will face Uzbek Timur Ibragimov, 30-3 with one drawn and 16 knockouts, in an undercard fight today before the Amir Khan-Lamont Peterson light-welterweight world title bout. “I feel it’s my time now,” said Mitchell. No American has owned one of the three major heavyweight crowns since Hasim Rahman’s reign ended in 2006.
