Is Anthony Mundine a man or a mouse?

AFTER Anthony Mundine controversially stole Daniel Geale's IBO middleweight title in May, the boxing world was cynical about the Man's intention to give his vanquished opponent a rematch.

And they would have been feeling justified last night, when the IBO revealed Mundine will relinquish the belt instead of complying with its order to fight Geale again.

While the Tasmanian's protest failed to have the result overturned, IBO delegates ruled that a rematch had to take place prior to February 27 next year because the first bout was so evenly split.

But the IBO's Australian delegate Phil Austin confirmed Mundine does not intend to comply, meaning the belt will be handed back in the coming weeks. "He's decided to relinquish the belt," Austin said. "Anthony is now dropping down to junior middleweight.

"It will become officially vacant when he sends in his bands for his next fight [against Robert Medley] on 11 January."
Medley and Geale are stablemates of Grange Old School Boxing. Many insiders believe Medley has only become Mundine's next opponent because the former NRL star needed to appease Grange for not giving Geale a rematch.

The pair will fight in Sydney, and the heavily tattooed Medley is considered a dangerous prospect for Mundine at the lighter weight division. Austin said Geale would automatically get the first shot at regaining his belt early next year. An opponent for the soon-to-be vacated title is yet to be confirmed.

"We installed Daniel Geale as a mandatory opponent for Mundine by 27 February next year, because we had high regard for his ability," Austin said. "It was a close fight and he deserved another chance."

Controversy shadowed Mundine's third world title, with the three judges awarding the 34-year-old a split decision.

On the day after the fight it emerged that Mundine supporters had heckled and pressured one of the judges, British official Marcus McConnell, while he was scoring between rounds. McConnell was one of two judges who awarded the fight to Mundine, 115-113, but vehemently denied the verballing had any influence on his scoring.
