Mundine promises his best
being billed as the biggest allAustralian fight of all time.
Negotiations are under way to make the long-awaited heavyweight battle between Lucas Browne and Alex Leapai the main undercard fight.
Mundine-Horn is set to be fought at 71kg and while Horn’s promoter Dean Lonergan says the weight limit will “kill” Mundine before he gets in the ring, Mundine is planning the best preparation of his career. Faced with a million-dollar penalty if he is more than 2kg above the limit, he has hired South Sydney’s nutritional expert Ryan Pinto to assess every gram of food that he eats between now and fight time.
While Lonergan says a huge proportion of the crowd will be on hand to see Horn knock out Mundine, the Sydney boxer’s camp fully expect their man to spoil the party.
“He really is Jeff’s worst nightmare. He’s fast, crafty and he can punch,” Mundine’s representative Emaid Dib said.
