British promoter Frank Warren has revealed that he offered Australian super middleweight Anthony Mundine a fight with Joe Calzaghe six months ago, but ‘The Man’ turned it down.
“He didn’t want to know. He said, ‘I’m staying in Australia. I don’t want to travel,’” Warren told Richard Freeman and Terry Kennedy on the ‘Big Sports Breakfast’ on Radio 2KY in Sydney on Thursday. “That was about six months ago we made him that offer. That would be a great fight.”
To prove that he wasn’t exaggerating, Warren renewed his offer to Mundine via the ‘Big Sports Breakfast’ hosts.
“We got a date in September, I would love him to come over here,” he said. “Anthony Mundine, I’ll pay him US$2 million to come over here and fight Joe Calzaghe.”
While he has accepted an offer from Mikkel Kessler’s promoter Mogens Palle for Joe Calzaghe to fight in Denmark in September, Warren says he has not heard anything back as yet and nothing is finalised.
