By Allan Fox: Former WBA super middleweight champion Anthony Mundine (45-5, 27 KO’s) is targeting WBA interim junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara (19-1-2, 12 KO’s) for a fight in the near future. Mundine sees Lara as the guy that separates him from the WBA title, and he wants to beat him as soon as possible if he can get the fight against the Cuban.
Lara is coming off one of the biggest wins of his career in beating former WBA 154 lb. champion Austin Trout last December in Brooklyn, New York. Trout didn’t have the power or the fighting style to give Lara any problems in that bout, and it was one of Lara’s easier fights of his career.
