"The police are onto it and I'm meeting them this afternoon," a shocked Mundine told The Daily Telegraph.

"I've got ideas but I don't want to assume or speculate."

Asked if he was frightened: "At the end of the day god is the greatest. I fear god. I don't fear anything else.

"You do bad, it will come back to bite you. God takes care of that."

He says he is unsure if the bombing related to his upcoming fight with Shane Mosley on November 27.

Mosley arrived back in Australia today after skipping the country three weeks ago when his payments could not be guaranteed,

"The timing makes you wonder what all this is about," he said.
