Two highly regarded Australian professional fighters Anthony Mundine and Michael Zerafa will face off in March. It is a fight between two different boxing generations. The younger boxer Zerafa is favored by Mundine vs Zerafa betting odds to end Mundine’s career for good.

For many commentators at online sportsbook news sites in Australia, Anthony Mundine vs Michael Zerafa is a very bizarre fight. It is between two fighters with 17 years of an age gap. It is between an old bull and a young bull. Thus, many have urged Mundine not to get involved in this fight and save his health. Mundine vs Zerafa betting odds also suggest Mundine has almost no chance and the younger opponent Zerafa will finish him off.

Mundine vs Zerafa will be taking place on 13 March at the Bendigo Stadium. It will be at the middleweight class but with no title at stake. The only bizarre thing in this fight is the age difference. But, in terms of style, height, and reach the two fighters are almost the same. So, can Mundine make a huge upset before he retires for a second time?

Mundine hopes to taste a win for one last time

The former world champion Anthony “The Man” Mundine has been a dominant figure in world boxing for the past 20 years. In Australia, he is considered the best of the best. But his successful years have gone. He tasted defeat four times of his last five bouts. As of now, Mundine’s record stands at 58 with 48 wins.

Mundine retired in 2019 after his defeat against fellow Australian John Wayne Parr by a split decision. It was a long-awaited retirement as he did it at 44 years old. Many people including his father are questioning why Mundine is still boxing, according to The Sydney Moning Herald. But it seems, he regrets retiring without one last win. He hopes it will come against Zerafa with 8.50 odds at the Bet365 Sportsbook.

Zerafa enjoys so many advantages over Mundine

The 28-year-old Michae “Pretty Boy” Zerafa is a very good fighter. He holds a record of 27 wins and four losses from 31 bouts. However, he has been out of the boxing ring for a year now. His last fight came in December 2019 when he lost a rematch against Jeff Horn with a majority decision.

But, in August 2019, Zerafa made a very exciting showing against Horn. It was the first fight when Zerafa knocked Horn twice in the second and ninth rounds before the referee stopped it. According to Mundine vs Zerafa betting odds, Zerafa has a huge chance of winning with a 1.05 value. His speed, power, and very good movement can help him dominate Mundine as he promised.
