BR shows Choc's NZ opponent as 30 yr old Xavier Toliver 23-6-0 US club fighter Toliver has had 2 fights in 5 years. Boxa is taking no chances with this one. Doubt anyone will be surprised.
Xavier's quite well known in Aussie boxing circles for his matchmaking work. Brother of Fred Tukes. He's been a sparring partner for many of boxing's superstars.
This match-up confirms Mundine's status as a legend - another example of him fighting nothing but the best!
I thought it was supposed to be weight divisions he was descending through, not the quality of his opposition :-(
Toliver's only plus is he's a natural light middle. Hope he gets to see Mandy weigh in and has a penalty clause for overweight. Mundine looks about as menacing as a catwalk model at 154.
