"A potential Mundine opponent"
The next opponent for super-middleweight world title aspirant Anthony Mundine has yet to be decided, as Mundines management awaits reports from rehabilitation wards in Australias major hospitals.
Fresh from yet another first round win, over Brazils Rogerio Cacciatore on the Gold Coast, Monday night, Mundine and his handlers began monitoring ambulances first thing Tuesday.
We havent made a decision yet. Its still early, said trainer Johnny Lewis. Theres a promising contender in Adelaide General, who still cant use either arm and is in a wheelchair after a nasty car accident, but he might have recovered too much in two months, when were looking to fight.
A couple of brain surgery patients, who have no sense of vertical balance at all six months into their rehabilitation, have signed preliminary papers, with the assistance of carers. Either of these 60-year-olds can be accepted by the Mundine camp up to 24 hours from the fight date, depending on how theyre progressing.
Lewis confirmed that international scouts were keeping an eye on potential challengers in South America. Cacciatore was everything we could have hoped for, he said. Looked big and strong, danced like a genuine fighter, took two punches and dropped like a stone, taking Anthony to 18-1. All we need is another few like him.
