Jeff Fenech, a three-time world boxing champion, is contemplating whether his protege Garth Wood will face Anthony Mundine again.
According to Fenech, if an appropriate agreement is achieved between both parties, the fight could occur in three months.
“I haven’t changed my opinion regarding Garth knocking Choc out again,” Fenech remarked.
“It might happen as soon as March, but we will see how negotiations proceed between Michael (Karigiannis, Wood’s manager) and Khoder Nasser (Mundine’s manager).”
On December 8, Wood shocked the boxing community by delivering a knockout to Anthony Mundine in the fifth round.
“Garth has the potential to enhance his performance by 100 percent based on what I’ve witnessed so far,” Fenech stated.
“We are aware of Choc’s past accomplishments and capabilities, so we don’t view it as a challenge at all.
“Mundine is driven by financial incentives; out of all the competitors in the middleweight category, I would always prefer Garth to fight Mundine.”
Fenech added, “Danny Green possesses fifty times more experience and is a significantly superior fighter, yet I had a guy with no prior experience achieve what no one else could, which was to knock Mundine down.”
The Mundine team is eager for a chance at redemption, and Nasser has been engaging in discussions with Karigiannis, seeking a rematch.
“I’ve met Khoder for a few coffees and cigars,” Karigiannis mentioned.
“It will be twice as grand as the previous bout, and we’re considering returning to Acer Arena.”
Fenech also criticized Mundine’s camp.
“They are solely focused on money,” Fenech said.
“Mundine ought to be pursuing titles in the United States. Yet, he chooses to remain in Australia fighting lesser opponents. Everyone is eager to witness him being knocked out again.”
