IBF middleweight champion Daniel Geale (25-1, 15KOs) is eager to avenge the only loss of his career by having another go at Anthony Mundine (41-4, 24KOs). Mundine won a close split decision over Geale in 2009. Earlier this month Geale traveled to Germany and won the title with an upset decision over Sebastian Sylvester. Geale would like to make the first defense of his belt in Australia in a rematch with Mundine.

''You never know and, to be honest, I talk to a lot of people about this and it's very mixed,'' Geale said to the AAP. ''A lot of people say, 'Don't give him the chance', and he doesn't really deserve the chance. 'We've got to make the right decisions, but personally I'd like to fight him and beat him … a lot of people around Australia would love that as well.''
