Mitchell to battle Maduma on Froch – Groves II card

Kevin Mitchell will battle Ghislain Maduma in a Lightweight title elimination bout on the May 31 Carl Froch – George Groves rematch undercard at Wembley Stadium in London according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.

“This fight carries huge risk but also huge rewards,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “I strongly believe that Kevin can beat Vazquez but he has a massive test in Maduma first at Wembley. Maduma is technically very good and can punch with both hands, but Kevin has boxed four times in seven months and is ready to enter deep waters. It’s going to be a cracking fight.”
