    It is the offer Anthony Mundine can't refuse.
    WA champion Danny Green has proposed a multi-million dollar rematch for a world title on Anzac Day in Sydney, with 10 per cent of the purse going to indigenous youth of Australia.
    After defeating Roy Jones jnr in December, IBO champion Green said a revival of fighting Mundine was beneath him.

    But today Green said he was now willing to fight his arch-rival anywhere, with the purse to be split 45/45.
    On the back of what would be the richest and most hyped bout in Australian boxing history, the remaining 10 per cent would be placed into a foundation trust set up to benefit indigenous youth around the country, with the proceeds likley to run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
    With the tagline of "More than Personal", Green said the date of April 25 would be perfect for the rematch – with Mundine being further tempted by Green's IBO Cruiserweight title.
    "He has been pretty much living off one former past glory after he defeated me in '06," Green said.
    "I came out of retirement, accepted the challenge and then he ran the other way.
    "I have achieved two world titles since then, and his lack of achievement, people would say I am crazy to offer the bloke 50/50.
    "We think it is a very special deal … and I think it is something that I cannot see Anthony Mundine possibly turning down and this is what is going to smoke him out of his hole.
    "The other 10 per cent is going to go into a foundation that is going to be set up and run by both our parties to assist and fund and sponsor indigenous youth of this country.
    "The opportunity to do this and the funds raised will be rather large – it is an investment in our future and an investment in the indigenous youth of this country."
    After futile attempts to lure Bernard Hopkins and Antonio Tarver to Australia, Danny Green today reverted to his back-up plan – Mundine - despite calling him an "irrelevant pissant" who only fought "chumps and babies".
    Denying it was a backflip, Green said Mundine had no fights planned anywhere in the world – so why refuse the biggest one?
    "He has no obligations anywhere in the world to fight anyone, he has no reason in the world why he has to turn this down," Green said.
    "There is nothing fairer than what we are doing.
    "I don't see how he can possibly turn this offer down and if he does I suggest he check his passport and leave the country, because he would have to hang his head in shame.”
    Green's manager ****** Manolikos said the title would definitely be on the line at cruiserweight, which would mean both fighters would have to be above the mimimum of 79kg.
    "I starved myself for two or three month to make the weight (in the last fight)," Green said.
    "All he is has to do … is not starve himself to make the weight. I will lose a few kilos, he does not have to starve himself and we will make the weight."
    Mundine defeated Green on points in front of a 30,000 crowd at Aussie Stadium and a television audience estimated to be in the millions.
    "He has a chance to be a legitimate world champion and to take my world title, so of course I will put my belt on the line," Green said.

    never thought I'd end up thinking this way about him but Danny Green has turned into an absolute bore with his constant chest thumping and bull****.

    I'd prefer not to see a rematch. I don't need to see Choc beat **** out of Danny at Light Heavy I saw him do it at Super Middle.

    If paying sanctioning fees is all you have to do then yeah i guess Danny did beat a "world champ". He was never the legt 175 pound champ, just held a belt at one time thats all. Not a champion in my eyes but i guess Green and Mundine are both lucky that the Aussie public dont know anything about boxing.

    This will likely happen in Sydney though and at night....shouldn't really bother the PPV across the nation??

    Good point Leon...there's been moves by all winter codes to get sports played on anzac day.

    True but sports like AFL or league are part of the Australian culture where everybody supports a team and can justify a Anzac Day game whereas boxing does not have that same connection and probably never will.

    So i would say pick another day other than ANZAC Day..............imagine the punchups in pubs after patrons had been on the drink all day celebrating Anzac Day:bbb:bbb:bbb:bbb:bbb
