Aussie boxing\u2019s next superstar makes biggest statement yet<\/a><\/p>\nChoc endorses son Rahim after win | 02:16<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, yeah, it\u2019s good,\u201d he shrugged. \u201cMy dad is the most hated athlete ever in this country ever, so it\u2019s understandable.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny little thing they look at, they will try to bring it on us.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ll probably try to do the same thing to me from my old man.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I\u2019ve been around it my whole life.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not worried about that\u201d<\/p>\n
N. Tszyu vs Diaz Full Fight Highlights | 08:41<\/p>\n
So happy to embrace the villain role moving forward?<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, man, whatever they want,\u201d the undefeated prospect continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey don\u2019t know me but if they want to look at me as a villain, I don\u2019t give a f***<\/p>\n
\u201cThey can do that.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt don\u2019t matter. At the end of the day I\u2019ll keep getting better.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith my coach Lincoln [Hudson] and my old man, I\u2019m going to keep winning fights.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Mundine said he would continue to campaign as a super welterweight for now \u2013 given the number of massive domestic opportunities available \u2013 however stressed he could also go a division lighter.<\/p>\n
And as for who he wants next, especially after having already called for a future showdown with Michael Zerafa?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhoever they put in front of me,\u201d continued the son of \u2018The man\u2019. \u201cThat\u2019s who I want to fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor now it\u2019s about getting my craft right.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou saw out there, I looked a lot better from my last fight and I\u2019m going to keep getting better.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor now I\u2019ll stay at super welterweight. But I could make welterweight to be honest.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll keep learning my craft. The [big fights] will come in 18 months, 24 months \u2026 I\u2019m going to be a bad boy soon.\u201d <\/p>\n
Controversy! Nikita hits Diaz while down | 00:42<\/p>\n
Asked if he felt pressure being the son of a former world champion, Mundine continued: \u201cOf course, but it is what it is.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to take it on the chin and deal with what you\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd this is what I\u2019ve got. It\u2019s my journey. So I have to deal with it and use it as a blessing.<\/p>\n
\u201cTonight was a good experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cTough opponent, durable opponent.<\/p>\n
\u201cSkilfully, I was way superior. It was just, um \u2026 I have to work on a couple of things in the gym so I\u2019ll be able to use my skills throughout the whole fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cI need to get my breathing right.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst two rounds, three rounds, everyone could see I was hitting him with the cleaner shots. Easy shots. So I need to work on my breathing so I can do that through all the rounds.\u201d<\/p>\n
And as for what the old man said before the fifth and final round?<\/p>\n
\u201cDunno, Mundine replied with a grin. \u201cI\u2019ve forgot. I dunno what he said.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthony Mundine\u2019s son has declared himself ready to become the new bad boy of Australian boxing, boldly declaring:…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":652122,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-652121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=652121"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652121\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/652122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=652121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=652121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=652121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
