Ty Mitchell faces former title challenger Gabriel Rosado in the main event of Misfits Duel 2 at Vaillant Live in Derby, England, on March 7. Mitchell puts his MFB light heavyweight belt on the line. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster.
Mitchell (5-2, 3 KOs) won his previous bout last August by decision over Sean Hemphill to claim the inaugural MF pro super middleweight title. In May, the 35-year-old Derby southpaw stopped Idris Virgo in the third round to capture the MF Boxing Pro light heavyweight strap at Misfits Boxing 21.
Rosado (28-17-1, 16 KOs) aims for his third consecutive win following a decision over Vaughn Alexander last October and a first-round knockout of Crispulo Javier Andino in August. Earlier in his career, the 40-year-old Philadelphia native challenged Peter Quillin for the WBO middleweight title and Gennady Golovkin for the WBA 160-pound title, but fell short on both occasions.
