'They are fighting again in Perth at the end of the year'

Anthony Mundine's father Tony says a third and final chapter in his son's rivalry with Danny Green is set to take place.

Mundine and Green share one win apiece from two fights after Green scored a controversial decision win in Adelaide earlier this year.

And former Australian boxing champion Tony Mundine says a deciding third bout is likely to take place in Perth at the end of 2017.

Speaking at a live fight night in Grafton on the NSW North Coast recently, Mundine Sr said Mundine v Green III was well in the works despite Green announcing his retirement in February.

"Choc was a bit unfortunate the last fight he had against Danny," Mundine said.

"He got a few tough decisions not go his way but that is alright.

"They are fighting again in Perth at the end of the year, it is in the works."

Green previously labelled his opponent a "poor sport" after it emerged Mundine was protesting the February fight.

"All it is is an appeal, it doesn't mean anything's going to happen," Green said.

"I expect nothing less from such a poor sport.

"He showed disgraceful sportsmanship in the ring and I expect nothing less from someone of his character — his poor character — after the fight."

Green also slammed the illegal hit he took from Mundine in the first round of the bout.

"I'm just disappointed not to carry it out how I felt for the first 30-45 seconds. I felt very confident he was s****ing himself — you could see the look in his eyes," Green said.

"I hit him with a couple of clean shots, I felt sharp early, then he threw that dog shot and it just changed the game.

"It was just a disgraceful foul, it was incredible that he did it."
