Despite being the highest paid player in the NRL, Mundine quit rugby in 2000 as he believed he was being subjected to extreme levels of anti-indigenous racism in the game. Earlier that year, he had also converted to Islam, and decided to take up boxing after a friend showed him videos of Muhammad Ali in the ring.
