As ring announcer Lt. Dan Hennessey read the final scorecards and stated the winner was from the blue corner, Lucas raised his hand as he thought he secured the victory.
However, upon quickly realising he fought from the red corner, he flashed a cheeky grin as Mitchell basked in glory.
Mitchell took home a majority decision victory, winning two judges over with scorecards of 58-56 and 59-55, but one had it a draw, highlighting the tight tussle between the two.
It was a bout tipped by many to deliver plenty of fireworks, but it was more memorable for a number of mid-match antics.
Whenever Lucas or Mitchell threw a shot and missed, the other made a cheeky gesture to remind them just how far they missed by.
Despite Mitchell’s nickname of ‘El Matador’, he didn’t quite lead Lucas around like a bull with both men happy to trade in stunning exchanges.
