Anthony Mundine calls out longtime rival Danny Green’s son after Rahim Mundine scores KO win

The longstanding rivalry between Anthony Mundine and Danny Green has been reignited after Green’s teen son was called out.

Anthony Mundine has used the chance to take a shot at his long-time rival, Danny Green by calling out his son, after his son Rahim ‘The Dream’ Mundine won his second career fight by knockout.

The son of Anthony and grandson of Tony Mundine, Rahim stepped back into the ring after injury ruined his dreams of playing NRL.

And he had few troubles with Joe Vatusaqata (1-5 record) on Wednesday night.

On the Sonny Bill Williams and Paul Green undercard, Mundine was far too strong for Fijian boxer Vatusaqata, knocking him down twice in the second round before his corner threw in the towel.

“I went back to footy and hurt myself again, so I was like nah, I’m going back to boxing,” Mundine said after improving his record to 2-0.

However, his post-fight interview quickly became a chance for the Mundines to reignite their beef with the Greens.

Danny Green fought two massive fights against Anthony Mundine during their careers in the ring, splitting them 1-1.

But that didn’t stop Mundine accusing Danny of being scared of fighting again and instead called out Green’s son Archie, who has never had a professional or amateur fight, to box his son Rahim.

“It makes sense (for his son to fight Archie),” Mundine said after his son improved to 2-0.

“I pumped Danny a couple of times; he doesn’t want to admit it. He reckons he won the third fight, but he doesn’t want to do it again.

“I said let’s do it again, but he doesn’t want to do it because he knows what’s up, but our boys can do it.”

Rahim added: “He hasn’t fought yet, but I’m sure if he does his job in the next five years and I keep doing what I’m doing, the Mundine last name can whoop the Green last name again, you know what I mean?”

Danny Green – who was working in the commentary box for Stan Sport – fired back at Mundine.

“I’m a nice guy that’s why I didn’t take the third fight. You took 11 years to do the rematch you pelican,” Green said.

“I love you too much, I’d hurt you too much. So yeah, 100 per cent and Choc can’t count, the W is next to my name.

“Look what’s going to happen in the future, our sons are going to carry on our legacies.”

Archie Green was also open to the idea of fighting Rahim.

“At the moment I am 17 and I’m about 56kg and definitely I want to have a fight (at amateur level) before the end of this year,” Archie said.

“Down the track definitely, but I just want to make the trilogy 2 and 1.”
