Mitchell twins back in the mix!

Press Release: The battling Mitchell twins out of Philadelphia, Eric and Aaron, are looking for a few  good fights in 2006 after recently receiving their promotional freedom from Don King Productions. Eric (18-4-1, 9 KOs) is coming off of a sensational first-round knockout of previously unbeaten Rob Dula (now 15-1-1) a year ago in St. Louis, while Aaron's (23-1-1, 18 KOs) last fight was a fifth-round stoppage of Carlton Holland a little over two years ago in New York City. "The Mitchell twins against anybody from welterweight to middleweight in the world is like a putting a Rotweiller in against a Poodle," the Williams' manager Jim Rider said.

Eric has won six of his last seven fights, the exception a 10-round loss by decision as a last day replacement against now junior middleweight titleholder Ricardo Mayorga. Eric's most notable victory to date was a twelfth-round TKO of Ross Thompson (24-4-1) in 2001 for a regional middleweight title.

Aaron is riding an 11-fight win streak, all by knockout, including notable victims such as Manning Galloway, Miguel Julio, Maurice Adams and Fidel Hernandez. A four-round loss to Keith Mullings in 1993 and a 1997 draw with Lloyd Joseph are the only blemishes on Mitchell's otherwise perfect pro record.

Representatives of worthy opponents only for either of the Mitchell twins may contact Jim Rider (ridebox58@aol.com), matchmaker John Beninati (match4346@aol.com) or Boxingtalk (gleon@boxingtalk.com) if they are interested.
