Danny Green and Anthony Mundine ham it up at Adelaide Oval. Picture: Mike Burton“I’ve been fighting with a bad hip - a very bad hip - for the last seven, eight years,” Mundine told a press conference in Adelaide today.

“That’s fixed now. I feel my feet are back, my movement’s back. “I just want to put this **** to rest, that I’m the better man. “Skills pay the bills. I’m going to be as sharp as I was in 2006.” Both fighters indicated the fight could be the last of their careers, with Green saying beating Mundine would be a perfect send off.

He was confident he would be able to stop Mundine.

“You hit me with everything you had with two hips. I didn’t stop marching forward,” Green said.

Mundine hasn’t fought since he suffered a TKO loss to American Charles Hatley in November last year.

Green, 43, defeated Kane Watts on points last August to win the vacant Australian cruiserweight title.

Anyone going to this tonight? They had sold 20,000 tickets at the start of the week.
