Kevin Mitchell Boxing career

Mitchell added the British super-featherweight title to his Commonwealth belt when he stopped Carl Johanneson in the ninth round of his fight on 9 March 2008. The fight was on the undercard of David Hayes World Cruiserweight championship win over Enzo Macarrinelli and was a barnstormer. Mitchell was 26-0 and British and Commonwealth champion. On 7 June 2008 Mitchell beat Walter Estrada in Atlantic City, New Jersey on the undercard of Kelly Pavlik's middleweight title fight with Gary Lockett in a fifth round TKO.

Mitchell continued chopping Estrada down, until a right hand followed by a left to the body sank Estrada in the closing seconds of the round. When Estrada got up, the referee took a long look before waving it off to extend Mitchell's unbeaten record to 27-0. After this fight Mitchell was out of action for just under a year with a hand injury, putting his world title ambitions on hold. His return on 22 May 2009 was a comfortable third round stoppage win over little known Lanquaye Wilson. Two months later on the Khan vs Kotelnik undercard Kevin recorded an eighth-round win over Rudy Encarncion.
