Former champion Anthony Mundine is taking some more shots at Sakio Bika, one of Mundine's many Australian rivals. Mundine is in route to moving down from super middleweight to middleweight, but he would move back up to 168 for Bika - if they meet on his terms. Bika recently went through Peter Manfredo Jr. in three rounds and prior to that, he knocked out Jaidon Codrington to win "The Contender" season three reality show.
Mundine recently took a trip to the United States and met with Oscar De La Hoya to see if the two can work together in the future. Mundine is open to being promoted by De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions for the right fight. He plans to meet with De La Hoya after the Golden Boy's December 6 fight with Manny Pacquiao has been concluded.
He claims to have sparred with Bika in the Australian gyms and said claims to have dominated his rival during those meetings. He tried to make the fight in the past but says Bika is asking for too much money. Between the two of them, Bika is more well known in America.
"We are trying to fight (Daniel) Geale, Bika and these sort of guys. People want to see me fight them but at the same time they've got to understand what I'm giving them is twice or two-and-a-half times what they can get. I'd be happy to fight Bika and I'd love to fight him,'' Mundine said.
"I've done numerous rounds with him in the gym and he is easy work for me. I will prove that if he gives me the opportunity to fight and if he is not ridiculous in monetary terms. I don't see any middleweight that can trouble me if I'm on my game. Not one.''
