Mundine ‘like a wounded animal’

Where to watch the fight

Australia’s greatest boxing rivalries

Who: Jeff Horn (18 wins, 1 loss, 1 technical draw) v Anthony Mundine (48 wins, 8 losses)

Mundine is the trash-talking former NRL star with lightning-fast hands and attitude. He is 43.

Weight limit: 71kg (middleweight). Mundine faces huge penalties of more than $1 million if he weighs in 2kg more above the limit.

Anthony Mundine is primed for the title fight.

What happens if Horn wins: He will likely have his next fight for a world title in a specially designed temporary arena on the beach at Surfers Paradise and count his winnings which could top $3 million.

What happens if Mundine wins: He will chase a big fight against a huge international name such as Manny Pacquiao or Canelo Alvarez. Much of Australia will groan, as he has played the villain in Australian sport for more than 20 years. In Queensland there is likely to be a day of mourning, as Horn is one of our most popular sportsmen

Styles: Horn is a heavy hitter, an aggressive pressure fighter who breaks opponents down with a relentless attack. Mundine is a slick defensive boxer with lightning-fast counterpunches who sets traps for the unwary.
