Mundine's New Year's Resolution: To fight in the USA

[Beltane]

Today's Daily Tele has an interview with the Man about his ambitions(?) to fight in the USA, to be the best and to be the people's champion.

The article can be read HERE.

Sounds like the same old stuff he has been sprouting for years and the pigs have been cleared for take-off!

Maybe fenech can sell him some watches as well as help him getting fights in the USA.

Fenech has dropped a peg or two because of this...

Jeff can probably see a buck in it, BUT if he can make something happen and then Mundine weazels his way out of fighting over there then the criticism will be justified. However, if Jeff can make it happen and actually get Choc over there and maybe a fight with Trout on US soil (which I think financially wont be as rewarding as here) then he should be given a pat on the back.
I hope Choc does get over there. His last fight performance he dominated and looked very good. As long as Trout is his target and not one of the mega stars I hope it comes off. Not that i think it will !

The US is a lot closer to Argentina, so he won't have to spend as much money flying in his opponents.

I read in the news this morning that Mundine is changing the goal posts already.
First he wants Chavez at middleweight, then the following fight he would be willing to concede 18kgs to fight Wlodarczyk. FFS!

And here I was starting to get excited about the new fan freindly ambitious Mundine.... Sigh...

Actually having read the article again, it seems like a bit of a beat up....

My favourite quote. A Mundine classic
"I am here to let people know I am the best all-round athlete of all time. People in Australia know, but I want the whole world to know."

Yep. Same crap he's been recycling for years.

This is the very last time I will ask this question, has Anthony ever explained what happened to the Kessler mandatory at SMW? I know most of us believe he ducked Kessler but was there ever an official reason given?

Still waiting for proposed big show in Bali to bring Islam & Christians together.
I guess he ditched the idea when it was pointed out to him 90% Balinese were Hindus

US media hasn't forgotten his gob-full re 9/11 & will no doubt be out to muidem him

[Beltane]

If Mundine ever makes it to the USA, no doubt the first place he will visit will be Disneyland to visit his favourite place: Fantasyland!

Mundine just posted on Twitter that the Chevez fight isn't happening, but they are still working towards other top line opponents.

[caveman]

top line opponents, from Argentina ??????

[Mark pawsey]

If he fights Trout & beats him he will two up on Green, they have both had a real title once, but his one up on him because he beat him.

Mundine's attempt a getting a bout against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr has failed with Julio knocking back the Man, because Mundine is not enough a drawcard in the USA.

Well, who would have thought that!
