Former IBF light welterweight champ Lovermore Ndou is calling out Anthony Mundine, challenging him to meet him at middleweight. The 37-year-old South African, training out of Australia, is rated No. 2 at welterweight.
Lovemore Ndou: I'd teach Anthony Mundine a lesson

AUSTRALIA'S former world boxing champion Lovemore Ndou has come out swinging in search of Anthony Mundine.
The man who held the same IBF junior-welterweight title as Kostya Tszyu says he would gladly fight the much bigger Mundine and has challenged him to show he really is "The Man".
Ndou, 37, who narrowly missed out on regaining his world title against New Yorker Paulie Malignaggi in front of 57,000 fans in Manchester in May, says he'll gladly give away up to 8kg to face Mundine as a 72kg middleweight.
"It's not a matter of size, it's a matter of skill," Ndou said.
"I would love to fight Mundine. He says he wants to take on the best middleweights (72kg) in the world, but let's see how he goes against a junior-welterweight (64kg) first. In terms of skill, I would give him a boxing lesson.
"Mundine looked dreadful against (Japanese fighter) Crazy Kim last month.
"I'm old enough and small enough for Mundine to see me as a prospective opponent."
Mundine gave up his WBA super-middleweight title rather than fight a return with Dane, Mikkel Kessler.
