SHANE MOSLEY, 41, will head to Sydney, Australia to take on local hero Anthony Mundine, 38, in October. Mosley breathed new life into his career in May when he outscored Pablo Cesar Cano over 12 rounds. It was the fading star’s first victory since 2009.

Mundine, meanwhile, lost to then-IBF middleweight champion Daniel Geale in his most recent outing. This contest against Mosley is expected to take place at light-middleweight.

Golden Boy will promote the bout.

There will be a press conference on August 29, 2013 in Los Angeles, where the exact date and venue will be announced.

BREACH OF CONTRACT FORCES MOSLEY TO WITHDRAW
FROM OCT. 23 BOUT AGAINST ANTHONY MUNDINE

 

LOS ANGELES (October 21) - Scheduled to face Anthony Mundine at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in Australia on October 23, boxing superstar Sugar Shane Mosleywill instead be going home after a breach of contract by the event’s co-promoter, Millennium Events, prompting his withdrawal from the fight.

 

“I’m very disappointed with this turn of events because I was planning on making a big statement by beating Mundine, but I was left with no choice but to withdraw,” said Shane Mosley. “The fans in Australia have welcomed me with open arms, and I hope to return to fight for them one day in better circumstances.”

 

“It’s unfortunate that this fight will not be taking place, and we apologize to all of Shane’s Australian fans, but there are contracts in place for a reason, and when the terms are not adhered to, we have no choice but to protect our fighter, and that’s what happened here,” said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions.
