FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PHILADELPHIA (November 19, 2009)—Sporty Smith & Penntucky Sports is proud to announce the signing of Eric “Murder” Mitchell and his twin brother Aaron “Homicide” Mitchell to it’s growing stable of boxers.

Eric Mitchell has a record of 22-6-1 with eleven wins coming by knockouts.

He won the NABA Middleweight title when he stopped former world title challenger Ross Thompson in June of 2001. He then stopped future IBF Super Middleweight champion, Alejandro Berrio on March 29, 2003 as part of the Bernard Hopkins-Morrade Hakkar undercard in Mitchell’s hometown of Philadelphia. In his next bout, Mitchell stepped in on less then twenty-four hours notice to take on former Welterweight and Super Welterweight champion Ricardo Mayorga. Mitchell fought admirably before dropping a ten round unanimous decision to Mayorga.

After four straight wins, Mitchell again stepped in a literally the last second as he took on Edwin Vazquez on about seventeen hours notice and scored a ten round unanimous decision to IBC America’s Jr. Middleweight title.

Mitchell is ready to get back in the win column after dropping two straight bouts to Danny Perez by a questionable disqualification and in his last bout dropping a ten round unanimous decision to former WBA Super Welterweight champion Joachim Alcine in Alcine’s hometown of Montreal.

Aaron Mitchell has a record of 27-1-1 with twenty-one knockouts.

Mitchell has not lost a fight in sixteen years and his only loss came to future Super Welterweight champion, Keith Mullings way back in 1993. Since that fight, Mitchell has gone a remarkable 25-0-1 with nineteen knockouts.

In 2006, Mitchell stopped Christopher Holt in the sixth round to capture the IBO Inter-continental Middleweight title. In his last bout, Mitchell scored a twelve round unanimous decision over Delray Raines to win the WBO NABO Middleweight title. That bout took place on November 21st, 2009.

“The Mitchell Twins record speaks for itself”, said Sporty Smith, CEO of Penntucky Sports Management.

“They are reborn and our management team looks to keep these guys busy. Their time is now and they will show up to fight anyone at anytime. Their resume’s speak for themselves. I see that Kelly Pavlik took a tune-up. Well look at either Mitchell Twins record compared to Espino. I think it’s just time that they receive their opportunity against any of the beltholders between 154 and 160 pounds.”

“There has been a perception that the Mitchell Twins skip out on fights. I will guarantee my licenses that if they sign a contract that the Mitchell Twins will show up and put on a great show.”

The Mitchell Twins of West Philadelphia will have bouts that will be announced shortly.

They join an already impressive stable of fighters under the Penntucky Sports banner which includes:

Heavyweight, Mark “Oak Tree” Brown of Salam, NJ who is 15-2 with 7 KO’s

Cruiserweight, Simon “One Punch” Carr of Philadelphia who has a record of 5-4-1 with 3 KO’s

Cruiserweight, Max Alexander of Raleigh, NC who is 14-5-2 with 2 KO’s

Light Heavyweight, Billy Bailey of Bakersfield, CA who is 9-5 with 3 KO’s

Jr. Middleweight, Vaughn Anderson of Philadelphia who is 0-2
