Kevin Mitchell has laughed off Paulie Malignaggi's reaction to his comments about the American's non-punching ability. 

 

The unbeaten London star takes on dangerous Australian puncher Michael Katsidis on Saturday 15th May at West Ham United's ground. 

 

"I'll stand by my comments about his powder-puff punching. What do you want me to say? That he punches like Mike Tyson!" joked Mitchell. 

 

"Malignaggi couldn't break wind let alone an egg which is why Khan's people have handpicked him," 

 

"Paris Hilton's got more of a wallop than him!" 

 

"I wouldn't want Malignaggi, he doesn't have anything I want. Ricky Hatton's already flattened him, Khan is going to flatten him, does he want a third Brit to flatten him? 

 

"I would love to detonate a sweet left hook on that dodgy Vera Lynn (Cockney rhyming slang for chin) of his and watch him fall, but I'm after fighters with bigger names and a bigger punch not bigger mouths."
