Fightnews.com is reporting that former WBA Super Lightweight champion Sharmba Mitchell of Takoma Park, MD will challenge undefeated WBC Junior Welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. on a November 19 HBO card at the Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon.
This should be a major payday for the "Little Big Man." Whether he can beat Mayweather remains to be seen, but it should be a great matchup. This will be the second Beltway Boxer Mayweather has faced. Mayweather scored a 12-round unanimous decision victory over former WBO Junior Welterweight champ DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley on May 22, 2004.
Mitchell has not fought since his fifth round technical decision victory over Chris Smith for the NABA Welterweight title on June 11 at MCI Center. The bout was the co-feature to Kevin McBride-Mike Tyson.
