Anthony Mundine (48-8, 28 KOs) and Jeff Horn (18-1-1, 12 KOs) showed on the official weighing procedure that they do not feel particularly warm feelings to each other. When the boxers stood face to face, Mundine grabbed his rival by the throat.
Their fight will take place within a contracted weight of 71 kg at the stadium in Brisbane, Australia. At the weigh-in ceremony Mundine showed on the scales 70.2 kg, Horn was 70.55 kg. Having made the weight, the opponents stood opposite each other and continued to exchange words, that ended with the blows that Mandin began to throw.
“This is how I am! I am like a lion in a cage, ready to take it up,” said 43-year-old Mundine.
At the stake in the Horn - Mundine battle will be the vacant regional titles of the WBO and WBA middleweight championships.
