After relinquishing another Title rather than face his "Mandatory"....FFS! What a ****ing disgrace to the sport of "Boxing" Is Anthony Mundine a man or a mouse? :deal By Josh Massoud This content is protected December 11, 2009 11:57PM This content is protected Is Anthony Mundine a man or a mouse ... have your say using our feedback form below. Source: AP AFTER Anthony Mundine controversially stole Daniel Geale's IBO middleweight title in May, the boxing world was cynical about the Man's intention to give his vanquished opponent a rematch. And they would have been feeling justified last night, when the IBO revealed Mundine will relinquish the belt instead of complying with its order to fight Geale again. While the Tasmanian's protest failed to have the result overturned, IBO delegates ruled that a rematch had to take place prior to February 27 next year because the first bout was so evenly split. But the IBO's Australian delegate Phil Austin confirmed Mundine does not intend to comply, meaning the belt will be handed back in the coming weeks. "He's decided to relinquish the belt," Austin said. "Anthony is now dropping down to junior middleweight. "It will become officially vacant when he sends in his bands for his next fight [against Robert Medley] on 11 January."
