Danny Green Hands Anthony Mundine an Ultimatum
By Mark Vester
Former light heavyweight champion Danny Green has handed his Australian rival Anthony Mundine an ultimatum. If Mundine continues to get out of line, green promises to forget a proposed rematch. Mundine faces Daniel Geale for the IBO middleweight title on Wednesday. He says the fight could be his last in Australia and also said that he doesn't need Green.
Early last year when Green retired, it was Mundine who chased after him for a rematch and baited him to unretire. Now Green has unretired and Mundine is paying him no mind.
"He called me out the whole time I was in retirement," Green to The Sunday Telegraph."He'd better be careful or he may just miss the boat and a payday. It's something that I would love to do and it's something I'm positive is going to happen, but he just doesn't want to get too cheeky. There's a lot of options out there for me as well."
Mundine wants to chase after the big names of the middleweight division like Arthur Abraham, Felix Sturm and Kelly Pavlik. Green says Mundine has little to no respect from the international community and those type of fights will be hard to get.
"He doesn't really have a lot of respect internationally," Green said. "He's never won an official world title so he doesn't really have the respect of the international boxing community. He's made some preposterous statements. There's not many things that he's said that I've taken seriously."
Green plans to return to the ring in July or August.
