Prescott: double trouble

It's a tough fight for me but I'm a lot better prepared for this fight than for when I fought Amir.

Breidis Prescott has told Kevin Mitchell: you will be easier than Amir Khan.

The Colombian banger, who took out the WBA light-welterweight champion in just 54 seconds, faces another Brit in a world-title eliminator, on December 5, live on Sky Box Office.

The shock win over Khan shot Prescott to prominence and even though he is in against another unbeaten fighter in Mitchell, he says his sights are set on repeating to the feat.

"Kevin is a good fighter but with all due respect to him Amir is better," he said.

"It's a tough fight for me but I'm a lot better prepared for this fight than for when I fought Amir. Beating Amir was a very important night for me, the best night of my career. It really put my name on the map.

"I was surprised I beat Amir so early but I have punching power so anything can happen."

Dangerman

But Mitchell, who is moving up from super-featherweight to lightweight for the first time, says he will be the one celebrating an early finish.

He has finished his last seven fights inside the distance and with a shot at all-action Aussie Michael Katsidis up for grabs, the 25-year-old says he will do what Khan couldn't.

"Prescott said he fancies Amir as more of a talent than me. I think Amir is unbelievable but if I hit him on the chin he will go," he said.

"Prescott is a big puncher and will be dangerous for all 12 rounds. He's been a dangerman throughout his career.

"But I can bang and in around 100 amateur and pro fights I've only been knocked down once - and then the fight finished on points."
