Michael Zerafa ends Anthony Mundine’s boxing career with knockout win

Anthony Mundine has once again called time on his celebrated and controversial sporting career following a first-round knockout loss to Michael Zerafa.

Aiming for a showdown with rising boxing star Tim Tszyu, Zerafa sent Mundine to the canvas with a series of heavy blows to claim the WBO Oceania middleweight title in Bendigo on Saturday night.

Now 45 years old, Mundine said conceded his sporting career was “definitely, definitely” over after the fight.

“Win, lose or draw, even if I won, I still would have hung them up,” he said.
