Former Love Islander Virgo, 31, comes into the clash with an almost perfect record, remaining unbeaten at 12-0-1.
The only clash he failed to win was in May 2019, as his clash against Rene Molik was ended after doctors advised Molik was unfit to fight after sustaining a cut on his eye.
Ty Mitchell comes into the bout at 3-2-0 in his professional career, but is off the back of a third round KO victory over Thomas Harnett on Misfits 20.

Mitchell also has the advantage of fighting in front of his home crowd in Derby.
Heavyweight legend Derek Chisora sent a message to Mitchell saying that Virgo is going to "smoke you out".
Mitchell then challenged Chisora - who trains with Virgo - to put his money where his mouth is and make a £50,000 bet on the outcome of the fight.
Virgo snubbed a Love Island return for the fight with Mitchell and told The Sun:

"I got what I have because of Love Island, so it would have been good to go back on there, build my career, X, Y, Z, but sometimes you gotta take sacrifices and that's one of my sacrifices.
"I had to kick the can and train hard ready for this fight."
The pair will co-main event Misfits 21, with Darren Till and Darren Stewart set to go on last on the night.
