Anthony Mundine, fired up, has unleashed a remarkable tirade aimed at fellow Aussie boxers Danny Green and Daniel Geale, labeling them as monkeys.
When questioned about his interest in rematches with either of his compatriots, “The Man” became visibly irate.
“I’m the gorilla, the silverback; they’re just the monkeys trying to catch up to me,” Mundine asserted.
“They’re nothing but a cross next to my name. They belong to the past, history; I’ve already taken them down.”
Even though the day in Sydney was dreary and he was indoors, Mundine sported shades and expressed himself energetically while promoting his interim WBA light-middleweight title fight against Mexico’s Rigoberto Alvarez on October 19.
“From now on, I’m elevating my game. I aspire to fight the very best and demonstrate that I’m The Man,” Mundine declared.
“I aim to hit without getting hit. I’m returning to the old Anthony Mundine, fueled by passion, drive, and the desire to be the very best.”
“The next three years are crucial; this is my peak. All I require is the opportunity.”
Mundine also bristled at the notion that he hadn’t faced big-name fighters from overseas in recent years.
“I just need that chance to battle the names that they want me to encounter,” he said.
“But they avoid fighting me; they’d rather toy with me.”
“I want to compete against the best, but they must be ready to face me. I’ll take them on in their own territory.”
“For some unknown reason, there seems to be an obstacle. Perhaps they consider me too formidable right now. Maybe they view me as more of a risk than a reward.”
“Perhaps they’re waiting for me to age, but I refuse to grow old.”
Mundine later emphasized his fiery remarks with a Twitter post: “To all my fans, I have nothing but love for ya..we gonna do it big!!! To all the haters!!! Go eat a fat dick…you hate but follow me lol #stupid.”
