Mundine is now likely to step up his calls for a big payday against divisional kingpins Mikkel Kessler, who defeated Mundine in Sydney in 2005, and Welshman Joe Calzhage.

But Mundine concedes it’s likely he will have to get some more defences under his belt before the big-name opponents come knocking on his manager’s door.

"Calzhage is in that position - he's number one in our division - because of his defences as a fighter. I just have to keep knocking people out,” Mundine said. atsch

"The more quick defences - boom, boom, boom - I want to make statements, I want to make noise. If I can fit a a Calzhage in there, I'll go to instant stardom worldwide.

"I believe I'm ready now. Saying that, it would be great to get some defences and experience of world title fights under my belt.

"I really feel like I'm in a part of my career where I'm starting to get on the top of my game. It's hard because some of these guys, it's hard to get big fights."In the meantime I'll keep fighting whoever they put in front of me as far as the top 15 - you can't fight anybody out of the top 15 in the world.

"Whoever that is, I'm going to knock them out. I'm going to make statement after statement until one of these guys says, 'let's go'.":rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

Sorry guys.........Doesn't seem like has any plans to step it up in the forseeable future.

Look on the bright side though......... The WBA regs require him to face his Mandatory next up....... (that will probably be The Russian Dennis Minkin, fighting on the 30th) as Bute has gone off to the WBC and Lacy is still injured.

I wouldn't hold my breath.....


Mundine should have been fighting his Mandatory instead of Nievas.

Somehow.......that didn't happen.

 

Hey........didn't a couple of you nuthuggers say that you were looking forward to this fight coz Mundine was going to announce his next "Big Name":hey opponent afterwards?

I guess in all the excitement of his unexpected victory.........he must have forgotten.
