"I know it’s not good to look ahead at future fights, but beating Lora is the key to getting a world title fight with Burns next," said Mitchell.
"It’s the fight I really want and I genuinely like Ricky, he’s a super kid, but I’ll put friendship aside and smash him to bits to win the title - come on Ricky lets get it on,"
"I really like Murray, but look what I did to him, once the fight is over we’ll shake hands, it’s just the nature of the business that fwe are in,"
Mitchell is still focused on Lora and is not underestimating the former WBC International champion who’s now based in Barcelona.
"Lora is a bit of an unknown lot really, I’ve seen a few of his fights and he throws big winding shots, he looks tough, but I’ll make him miss and pay," added Mitchell.
"The pressure is on me, I’m back home at the York Hall with a big crowd so I’ve got to produce the goods - the heat is on,"
"I’ve trained hard and I’m in great shape and I’m ready to knock-out Lora."
