Mumford turning it all around

SHANE Mumford’s boxing promoter Ricky Nixon says the ruckman has dedicated himself to his family and renewed professionalism since his cocaine video was filmed.

Mumford has been fined $25,000 and suspended for two AFL rounds after the emer- gence of a 2015 video showing him snorting cocaine, with the Giants almost certain to redraft him in coming weeks.

Nixon announced Mumford’s new fight opponent yesterday, with the premiership ruckman to take on former UFC fighter Jeff King in Sydney on November 17.

King has had two pro- fessional fights after 30 UFC fights and like Mumford is finding his way in the boxing game.

Nixon said yesterday Mumford had not ruled out continuing with his boxing career even if he was relisted by the Giants as early as December 1, with another potential fight in six weeks.
