Former British champion will consider quitting if he loses
Former British champion Young Mutley believes Friday's Prizefighter light-welterweight contest could be his final chance in boxing.
The 33-year-old is looking to get some success again after a difficult couple of years.
Just over two years ago, Mutley was in possession of both the British and European belts before losing bother titles to Colin Lynes.
And only last month, Mutley was knocked out inside three rounds by Frenchman Mihaita Mutu.
"My career is at a low but Prizefighter is what I need to get me back up there" Mutley told

"I would have to think long and hard about retiring if I didn't do well but this is a great opportunity and a lifeline for me.

"I'm learning in every fight but people haven't seen the best of me yet."
Mutley is relishing the opportunity of competing in the Prizefighter series, with the last man standing receiving £32,000 in prize money and a major boost to their careers.
"I'm excited about it and if I feel alright on the night then there will be problems for the others" he added, who boasts a record of 26 wins out of 30 professional fights.
"Prizefighter is just my thing as you can be explosive from round one. It suits my style perfectly as I like to mix it up and go for it right from the start."
And with Mutley potentially facing his old nemesis Lynes in the semi-finals should both progress through, he is relishing the opportunity of facing him again.
"It would be good to get some revenge over Lynes and get him back for that defeat," he said.
"He boxed my head off when we last fought but I was weight-drained. I could see the punches coming but couldn't move out of the way as I had nothing left."
