Mitchell will step into the ring for the main event against Josh Frederiksen at Cudgen Leagues Club in Kingscliff.

As expected, the 21-year-old is nervous, but said he’s ready.

“I am pumped to have my first pro fight it will be a great experience,” Mitchell told the Guardian.

His preparation has been solid, with frequent training sessions and plenty of sparring.

“Sparring with Renold has helped me a hell of a lot for this fight and my future career … it’s been a great experience,” he said.

“I'm expecting him (Josh) to come out hard and fast because he wouldn't want another loss, especially in his first pro fight.”

Trainer Ian ‘Sparra’ Stapleton said he has all confidence Mitch will start his professional career with a bang.

“It won't be an easy fight and don't expect it to be – but I know he's going to be right.

“If you're going hammer to toe with the world champion and doing everything right then ... Renold even said the last time they sparred ‘oh you’ll win your first fight by knockout’.”

Another of Sparra's trained boxers going toe-to-toe in the ring is Dorrigo's Daniel Beverly taking on Gold Coast PCYC's Luke Toope.

It’s Danny’s fifth professional fight in his career, and the strong hitter is going in somewhat blind.

“We don't really know what to expect,” Sparra said.

“We can’t find much about this other bloke on Facebook, which is where you can usually scope out the competition and learn a bit about their technique.

“But Danny’s had some good sparring prep and he’s certainly put the hard yards in … we’ll just take this one as it comes.”

Rounding out the event is Mitchel Stapleton taking on Bribie Island's James Torres for the 67kg QLD/NSW Senior Interstate Title.

17-year-old Mitchel is ready for his fight against his 24-year-old opponent.

“He’s been training real hard – usually two to three sessions a day,” Sparra said.

“He gets up and does an 8km run, back and does training in the gym, strength and then boxing of an afternoon.

“Facing up to an older opponent was intimidating for him at first – but not anymore.

“He’s been wearing Whitelaw’s and Danny’s punches, and he’s fought three or four men and beat them quite convincingly … so that's a good record.

“Apparently this guy (James) is talking about turning pro after this fight, and we're having a bit of a laugh at that.

“I’m confident and Mitch is confident of a good result, so it won't be a good start to a pro career being beaten by a 17-year-old.

“He's ready for him. Not real phased – he has four rounds to work his way into it.”

* Sparra was ringside at Friday night’s fight between Renold Quinlan and Daniel Geale as a cornerman. He also was witness for Danny having his hands strapped.

“It was one of the most awesome experiences … it was just unreal.”
