Green, Mundine trade blows ... on Facebook
Danny Green and Anthony Mundine may not have thrown punches at each other in nine years but a number of social media blows have been exchanged this weekend.
With rumours of a potential rematch to their May 2006 clash in Sydney heightening in the past few months, Mundine's manager Ben Thompson said last week that a second fight with Perth boxer Green was "an option".
That brought a response from Green, who told The Weekend West that a money-spinning sequel would be good for boxing in Australia.
Mundine, who is currently in Perth, then waded into the matter personally, posting on his Facebook site: Tell all the Danny green fans there is no reason for me to fight him again as I whipped him like he stole something from me lol green is desperate his fans are desperate!
I'm just focused on fighting the best fighters in the world ! God willing the rescheduled date with trout be sorted soon ! Ps they say green was weight drained when we fought haha yet he fought his hole career at super middleweight prior to us fighting at super middleweight ? You tell me ?
He got owned that night may 17 2006 now him & his fans gonna have to live with that the rest of his his life ! He ain't relevant to me. Matter a fact he ain't relevant period.
Unsurprisingly, Green quickly fired back.
He wrote: Hello chocco me old mate !! Welcome to Perth on this fine day. It's WA weekend this weekend and we are all relaxing so I trust you're wearing your thongs?
Quick q? - what is my 'hole' career?
Your little essay has reached 3002 likes so far. Now if I was a betting man, I would put ten bob on that this post of mine will most likely reach in excess of ten times that. You were mentioning irrelevance ??!! Why the post from you?
Please have some more respect for my supporters, as they are very loyal, loving, and hospitable. I love them .
Now, being such a cracking day, I'm off on a mates boat to catch a few fish. I'm a gentleman and I would most definitely invite you to snag a few with me, but you know the old fishing rule champion- 'no bananas on the boat!!!
Peace-safe travels.
Your mate greeny
