The controversial Australian boxer Anthony Mundine is at it again.

"The Man" is reported to be passing up the chance to win another world title in his third different weight division by refusing to fight under the jurisdiction of the International Boxing Organisation.

Mundine is set to fight fellow Aussie Rob Medley next Monday night in Sydney.

That was to be an IBO Junior Middleweight bout, but is likely to become a WBA Middleweight affair.

Team Mundine has had a tense six month relationship with the IBO after beating Tasmanian Daniel Geale for their Middleweight crown in July last year.
