Chicken accusation for Mundine This content is protected Infamous stunt ... Anthony Mundine with a chicken in a cage that he said was Danny Green, during a fight announcement. Photograph: Mark Evans Source: The Daily Telegraph ANTHONY Mundine has catcalled, made gay jokes and shadow boxed with poultry - but now it's the Redfern motormouth who stands accused of being chicken. Frustrated Sydney middleweight Daniel Geale reckons Choc is using his celebrity status to dodge an order demanding he be given another shot at the IBO world title by February 27. IBO officials announced the decision after three of their judges rescored the original May title bout between the fighters - with two insisting the belt should've been awarded to the fella who supplements his income training Wests Tigers players. Geale, however, fears Mundine is now doing everything he can to sidestep the order. "I'm not holding my breath, no,'' Geale told The Daily Telegraph when quizzed about the fight.

DSS radio show interviewed Geale after the Mundine bout they asked him if there was a rematch clause in the contract. He didn't sound that interested in contracts - obviously his management look after that side of things - but he did say he understood there was a re-match clause. In any case the IBO have put the Feb 27th deadline in place. Will be interesting to see where Mundine's camp go for his next match-up. Hard to see what the proposed Medley bout was going to achieve for him other than consume a few more months of his twilight boxing years.
