Anthony Mundine will return to the ring for the first time in the best part of a year tomorrow night when he faces off against Tommy Browne in a high-stakes domestic fight. Here is all the information you need to know about the bout.
The fight is pencilled in as the main event of the ‘Star of the Ring II’ event, with the winner set to be launched into the WBO’s top ten world rankings.
With the entire card being broadcast exclusively on Fox Sports 503, it will be the first time in Mundine’s long career that he hasn’t fought on pay-per-view.
The venue for the fight will be The Star in Sydney, with the start time scheduled for 9:30pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, 17th January, depending on how long the undercard runs for.
There are four bouts scheduled for the undercard, which will commence at 7:00pm (AEDT). Perhaps the biggest talking point prior to the Mundine-Browne fight is the professional boxing debut of former NRL player Richie Fa’aoso, who will face Ben Sila.
