Does anyone know why he's nick named 'Mundo'?

I think mundo means world in Spanish, there may be a tedious link there somewhere.

thats where my brain went with it.

At this stage, with the evidence provided,I would suggest that Smith will be as good as the man who knocked out George Groves in front of 80,000 people.... Can't remember his name right now

I think it's 'mondo' not mundo

mundo is an anagram of all of the smith brothers names plus father and uncle.

Just watching the Smith vs Skoglund fight from the weekend and big Ronald tells us this.
My immediate reaction was to assume everyones favourite commentator was talking pish,so i googled it.
And found this thread. No evidence of a TMNT called anything like callumundo

Wtf??

Callum-fckin-undo? There was no such turtle when I watched it 25 years ago. Maybe he's a new one they added I have no interest in knowing really it sounds rather strange.

A quote from an interview with the Liverpool Echo last year explains all:

“The truth is, it came from my dad, because when I was a kid I was into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and I had the backpack that looked like a shell, all that.

“The Turtles were called things like Michaelangelo, Leonardo and Donatello – so my dad started calling me Callumundo and it just stuck.”
