“I should be a 100-1 underdog,” Mundine told the Courier Mail. “This is some David and Goliath stuff, what’s going on right here. If I can pull this off, you all got to call me the Black Houdini or something because this is something that’s not supposed to happen. This don’t come around, not even in generations. I’ve had some good wins in my career but if I get the victory again over Green, this one will be unsurpassable.
“For my last fight I was 69.5kg (154 pounds) and now I’m jumping to fight Green at 83kg (183 pounds). Man, I’m coming up four weight divisions to fight a guy who should be world rated. For me it’s a bigger challenge than the first fight.
“He made all sorts of excuses after the last fight (168 pounds) and that he had to boil down. Well, I’ll fight Green at any weight. We’ll call this Danny-weight, and I’ll still whip him. He won’t have any excuses left.”
