Just when it looked like he was getting himself back on track…

Boxer Kevin Mitchell has escaped jail after being caught with a butterfly knife in his silver BMW.

The 27-year-old lightweight was stopped by police carrying out checks in Ballard’s Road, Dagenham, just as he left the house on his way to a training session, Snaresbrook Crown Court heard.

He told police he had just realised there was a knife in the car and the weapon did not belong to him, and he had no idea how it got into the car, but was convicted after a trial.

The judge, Miss Recorder Grace Amakye let off the rising star with a short community sentence after hearing a heavier sentence could destroy the rising sports star’s career.

“You ought to have reversed back up to your home and left the knife in a secure place, rather than taking the risk of continuing on your journey, hopefully to get to your training session without recrimination from your trainer,” she said.

“I cannot however, in passing sentence, disregard the incidence of possession of a knife of this nature and also the tragic consequences when people have such knives in their possession, albeit for reasons I have outlined, the prosecution accept it was never in your possession with an intention of having it to use it,” she said.

Mitchell, of Whitebarn Lane, Dagenham, was given a six-month community order, during which time he must complete 100 hours of unpaid work.

He was also subject to a three month curfew between 9pm and 7am, and ordered to pay a £250 contribution towards the prosecution’s costs at a rate of £50 per month.

What an absolute pleb.

Not the sharpest knife in the draw is he...

Think Warren would be wise to cut his losses on Mitchell now

Be a bit of a stab in the back wouldn't it?

How many chances does he get, he is taking the slash now.

In fairness to him, I wouldn't want to go around Dagenham in a fancy car without some sort of insurance policy.

My my, at least he's chopping and changing what he gets caught for....

I think Warren will be used to it by now. First cut is the deepest......

Perhaps he was just taking it to the gym as Tyson Fury had agreed to sharpen it for him?

Hes giving more ammunition to his critics, Warren should just fire him.

Wait, what was he caught with again?

Leave him alone, he just sharpening his tools

So there you answer on why Murray got the shot and not Mitchell

I can still see him slicing through the lightweight division, though.

When they said the first few rounds of the Murray fight were on a knife edge, did they mean the butterfly one?

I reckon Frank Warren will be pretty cut up about this. Just a stab in the dark.

Lets just hope that Mitchell sticks it to his next opponent....

Threw the upperCUT particularly well against Murray...

I hope Warren doesn't try to take a big slice out of Mitchells futures earnings

No, no Kevin. It's not "float like a butterfly, sting like a butterfly knife".

Warren: 'Kev, you honestly think I said you needed to drop by and put pen 'knife' to paper?

With Variety Club written on the side by any chance?

Scott's just angry because his pun was garbage. 'Well he wont be fighting in the US' doesnt even work.

Apparently he's doing a new TV show with Bruce Forsyth.

"Knife to see you..."

Now can I join the bad pun bus?

On the back of that one you're driving it.

Apparently he had a street fight, went knife and death with his opponent.

Silly boy is dicing with his career.

I doubt he had any intentions of using it to harm anyone. He probably just carried it in case he needed to trim any plants he may or may not be growing. Which may or may not include cannabis plants.

either that or he's using it to cut up his mum stash of gear

I always thought he was over-serrated.

He was carving out a good career for himself before this.

His favourite former Grimsby Town manager is Bill Shankly.

His favourite Stoke player was Stanley Matthews.

His favourite Hindu god is Shiva.

His favourite modern day footballer is Scimitar Berbatov.

His favourite cheese is Swiss.

Leave the guy alone, he's probably under alot of pressure. It's a cut throat business this boxing game!

His favourite animal was the Sabre Toothed Tiger.

His favourite sportswear designer is Samurai.

His favourite former Neighbours actress is Holly Valance.

His favourite Playstation game is Bushido Blade.

His favourite weapon is the butterfly knife.

Thought I'd read this thread before I had a slash..

His favourite clipper ship built in 1869 which served as a merchant vessel and then as a training ship until being put on public display in 1954 is the Cutty Sark.

Just hope Mitchell doesn't come on 606..

He'd find some of the comments quite wounding..
