Danny Green will fight Slovakian Tamas Kovacs in Melbourne in August but the four-time world champion says a rematch with Anthony Mundine remains his “end game”.

The 42-year-old announced the fight, his first since 2012, at Crown Casino in Melbourne on Wednesday, with the bout to take place at Hisense Arena on August 19.

A rematch of his 2006 fight with Mundine, which he lost in a points decision, remains high on Green’s agenda.
