Mitchell wins in first fight back in five years
Mitchell Smith moved up to 16-1 with a ninth KO in his first fight back in a professional boxing ring in five years.
The 'Baby Faced Assassin' stopped 24-year-old Bulgarian Petar Aleksandrov in round five of a scheduled six on May 21 in Watford Leisure Centre.
It was five years ago when the talented prospect last fought in May 2017 until his promising career was derailed by his bad behavious outside of the ring, resulting in a stint in prison.
He announced on Facebook after the fight, "And so it begins, after five years away, fifth round TKO. Let me tell you the roof came down last night, my people, my crowd are special.
"July, we go again. I will be champion again."
