Daniel Geale and Anthony Mundine have taken opposite paths to prepare for their eagerly awaited boxing world title rematch, one man staying at home and the other heading interstate.
Mundine claims he has received a timely boost ahead of his January 30 bout with IBF middleweight champion Geale, by returning to the city where he last defeated his rival - Brisbane.
Conversely, Geale has stayed at his western Sydney base and has no plans to go elsewhere before their Sydney Entertainment bout.
Mundine on Friday completed a month-long training stint in the Queensland capital where he was awarded the controversial 2009 victory - Geale's only professional loss.

He claimed there was "something special" about Brisbane and believed the four-week camp had provided the finetuning needed ahead of his re-match with Geale in Sydney.
"I always feel different when I leave this joint. I always feel a lot fitter and stronger," Mundine said."
"Moving to a different climate, it's like altitude training for me."
"Now I am ready to shake the world up again."
Geale lost his IBO middleweight title to Mundine in a split-points decision in Brisbane in May 2009.
He went on to win the IBF and WBA Super titles, though he was stripped of the latter for choosing to fight Mundine.
Tasmanian-born Geale relocated to Sydney several years ago and saw no reason to change his usual routine and follow Sydneysider Mundine out of town.
"Everybody to their own - I'm getting the best out of what I need to do right where I am. It definitely works for me," Geale said.
"We pretty much do everything we need (to) here in Sydney.
"We're very happy - we've got good sparring partners. Everything has fallen into place perfectly for us."
Geale, who has sparred with Trent Broadhurst and former Mundine victim Rob Medley, said he kept working throughout the holiday season.
The 37-year-old Mundine, is a $3.36 outsider with bookies against hot favourite Geale ($1.30).

Anthony Mundine has returned to the place where he last defeated Daniel Geale for inspiration ahead of their January 30 fight.
But the outspoken boxer claims he has received a timely shot in the arm ahead of his January 30 IBF middleweight world title bout with Daniel Geale by returning to the city where he last defeated his rival - Brisbane.
Mundine on Friday completed a month-long training stint in the Queensland capital where he claimed the controversial 2009 victory - Geale's only professional loss.
Mundine claimed there was 'something special' about Brisbane and believed the four-week camp had provided the finetuning needed ahead of his re-match with WBA Super and IBF titleholder Geale in Sydney later this month.
Not that Mundine sounded like a man who needed a pick-me-up on Friday.
'I always feel different when I leave this joint. I always feel a lot fitter and stronger,' Mundine said.
'Moving to a different climate, it's like altitude training for me.
'Now I am ready to shake the world up again.'
Geale lost his IBO middleweight title to Mundine on a split points decision in Brisbane in May 2009, but Mundine declined to give him a rematch.
The softly spoken Geale, 31, (28-1 record, 15 KOs) has uncharacteristically claimed he will knock out Mundine (44-4 record, 26 KOs).
Mundine agreed it would not go the distance - but for very different reasons.
'I want to end him and I can do it many ways,' said Mundine, who has won 21 of his past 22 fights.
'In my head, it is not going to go the distance. I am going to hurt him and stop him.
'They say he is a better fighter because he went to Germany and came back with a title but he was up against guys who suited him style-wise.
'I know he has a lot of heart, he is a great fighter but he is not on my level.'
The 37-year-old Mundine - who previously held the WBA super middleweight title - is a $3.36 outsider with bookies against hot favourite Geale ($1.30).
'They can't doubt me now but, once I win this fight, it will take my legacy to another stratosphere,' Mundine said.
'Age doesn't mean a thing. There are guys like Bernard Hopkins and George Foreman who were going in their 40s - I am a young boy in the sport.'
