I have thought long and hard and do not remember the last time a world boxing title was fought for in my home city. To those who are a fan of the sweet science you have a real chance to view this in the flesh.

Two time Super Middleweight World Champion Anthony Mundine will take his first step towards becoming a world champion in two weight divisions when he clashes with fellow Australian and IBO Middleweight Champion Daniel Geale, at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, on Wednesday 27May.

Geale, (21 wins, 13 by KO & 0 losses) is arguably Australia’s most under rated world champion. The 28 year old from Launceston remains undefeated in 21 bouts. Mundine is yet to beat an undefeated world champion and would be wise not to underestimate his opponent.

The bout is amazingly Mundine’s first in Brisbane since becoming a professional boxer and he is hopeful the Queensland sporting public will come and support the former Brisbane Bronco.

Details of the undercard will be released over the coming weeks but there was a strong tip that Sonny Bill Williams will be on the card. Lets wait and see.

I am thinking about ponying up for a ticket, anyone else interested?
