But as for that signature Choc confidence?<\/p>\n
Well, when asked this week about becoming the greatest \u2018Son of Gun\u2019 in Australian boxing, and eventually going as big as, say, Tim and Nikita Tszyu, the 24-year-old grinned: \u201cOh, for sure \u2026 if not bigger\u201d.<\/p>\n
Speaking with Fox Sports Australia on the eve of his latest fight, the undefeated prospect also admitted to understanding exactly what his famed surname brings, adding: \u201cWhile there are obviously pros and cons, it really is a blessing.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy name, it puts the eyeballs and bright lights on me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite being only two wins into his professional career, Mundine is vowing to steal the show on Wednesday\u2019s Main Event pay-per-view, where Nikita Tszyu headlines against undefeated Spaniard Oscar Diaz.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, the fighting son of Anthony \u2018The Man\u2019 Mundine also talked \u2013 albeit softly — about his chase for world titles, Danny Green\u2019s son, even a showdown against that fella who ended his own father\u2019s career \u2013 Michael Zerafa.<\/p>\n
And while Mundine\u2019s latest opponent, Queenslander Lance McDonald, is most famous for wearing g-strings to his weigh ins, this now third generation boxer is convinced the showdown will prove another step in his continuing the successes of a surname made famous by both his father, Choc, and grandfather, Tony.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Mundine has also doubled down on a Zerafa challenge.<\/p>\n
Back in January, CJ told <\/a>Fox Sports Australia <\/a>of his desire to throw down against \u2018Pretty Boy\u2019, stressing he remains \u201cpissed off\u201d by the way Australia\u2019s boxing bad boy celebrated after knocking his old man out of the sport.<\/p>\n It was in 2021 that Zerafa needed less than a round to finish Mundine snr in what would also double as the last fight of a career all headlines, world titles, and bucketloads of controversy.<\/p>\n While Choc was, by then, aged 45, and coming off consecutive defeats against both Jeff Horn and John Wayne Parr, Zerafa celebrated the win in a way that Rahim hasn\u2019t forgotten. <\/p>\n Speaking about it all at a January press event, the fighter recounted watching the back end of his father\u2019s career and remembering how \u201cas the later losses began happening, it started to piss me off\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cThese guys like Zerafa, Jeff Horn,\u201d he continued, \u201cthey were celebrating like they had won against a prime Mundine.<\/p>\n \u201cThat rubbed me the wrong way to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n Which is why, should No Limit ever work with Zerafa again, he wants the fight. <\/p>\n And as for how quickly his own rise will be? <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not worried about how long it all takes,\u201d Mundine said this week, \u201cso long as it\u2019s done right.<\/p>\n \u201cDad had 10 fights and went for a world title.<\/p>\n \u201cI probably won\u2019t do it like that.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m going to do this the right way.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd in my own time.<\/p>\n \u201cThis isn\u2019t about rushing for other people.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE BOXING<\/p>\n NIKITA: Tszyu reveals \u2018misconception\u2019 over famous dad… and his shock admission on world title hopes<\/a><\/p>\n PRESS CONFERENCE: Cocky rival plots \u2018Tszyu-castle\u2019 takeover, mics cut after undercard chaos erupts at fiery presser<\/a><\/p>\n
