Mundine takes on Jerez on Wednesday, wants Cotto and Margarito
By Jim Dower: Two-time WBA super middleweight champion Anthony Mundine (38-3, 23 KO’s) will be fighting on Wednesday against Argentinean Carlos Adan Jerez (30-12-3, 16 KO’s) for the vacant WBA International light middleweight title at the Entertainment Centre, in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Mundine wants Mayweather or Cotto-Foreman winner
By Jason Kim: Two-time WBA super middleweight champion Anthony Mundine (38-3, 23 KO’s) is hoping to get a shot at unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the near future or at the very least a chance to fight the June 5th winner of the Yankee Stadium clash between WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman bout. Mundine, 35, will be facing Jorge Daniel Miranda (36-8, 13 KO’s) later on this month on June 30th for the vacant WBA International light middleweight title.

Katsidis wants to fight Mundine – News
By Jim Dower: For what it’s worth, World Boxing Organization interim lightweight champion Michael Katsidis (26-2, 21 KO’s) wants a shot against former WBA super middleweight champion Anthony Mundine (38-3, 23 KO’s). This must be an Australian thing, because although the 29-year-old Katsidis is a tough fighter and powerful for a lightweight, he would seem to be way too small to beat a fighter the size of Mundine.

Mundine To Face Sturm Next?
By Jim Dower: Now that middleweight contender Anthony Mundine (35-3, 23 KOs) has beaten fellow Australian Shannan Taylor, Mundine is next in line for a shot at World Boxing Association middleweight champion Felix Sturm (31-2-1, 13 KOs), who has until the end of October to fight Mundine or end up having his title taken away from him from the sanctioning body. That fight will probably take place unless Sturm opts for a big money fight against IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham, a fight which would be a huge fight in Germany considering that both fighters fight out of Germany.
