Boxer Kevin Mitchell , Doctors have ordered an eye operation who suffered the first furstration of his pro career when he was beaten by Australian Michael Katsidis Upton Park last month. This week the popular boxer was awaiting a phone call to attend a London hospital where he will undergo surgery ollowing his complaints of double vision. Mitchell, who was stopped in three rounds by Katsidis, revealed he had been troubled by the eye, but did not realise it was so dangerous. However, doctors have told him it could have affected his vision in the most important fight of his career and ordered the operation instantly. Mitchell was stopped in the third round of his fight with Katsidis, but the boxer, trained by Jimmy Tibbs at Newham's Ultrachem TKO gym had no complaints."They are confident that the operation will clear up the trouble and I can get back into the ring and become a world champion," said Mitchell."I would love the chance to face Katsidis again.
