Former boxing world champion Anthony Mundine has unveiled plans to stage Australia’s first big-time bare knuckle event, declaring the sport safer than its brutal appearance.
Mundine’s World Bare Knuckle Fighting is set to be launched in September and streamed online after striking a deal with a venue in Brisbane.
“[It’s] the purest form of fighting,” said the 50-year-old, who carved out a top-level rugby league career with St George, Brisbane and NSW before switching to the ring.
“It’s about putting on a spectacle. We’re in the entertainment industry. I’m 100 per cent certain that this event will entertain.”
