Undefeated WBA "regular" junior middleweight champion Austin Trout is already making plans for his next title defense. Last Saturday in Mexico, he retained his title with a twelve round decision over David Lopez. Also last week, BoxingScene.com posted a report where former champion Anthony Mundine of Australia was calling for a fight with Trout. A former champion at 168 and 160, Mundine is trying to win three titles in three divisions by dropping backwards in weight.
According to a report in the Las Cruces Times, negotiations are already taking place to fight Mundine in August.
"Most likely, probably, we will fight Mundine next in Australia," said Trout. "He is trying to make history as a three-time WBA world champion and I'm trying to make history of my own. He is a right hander with decent movement. He has a good record but has fought mostly journeymen. It would be good money against a good opponent. It would be a two-time world champion and a great opponent to put on my resume."
