Mundine to make rugby league comeback | SBS News
Anthony Mundine is returning to rugby league in the next chapter of the athlete's 26 years in professional sport after spending almost two decades in boxing.
www.sbs.com.auI don’t have live access to confirm the very latest updates right now. Here’s what I found recently about Rahim Mundine from publicly reported boxing news:
- In January 2026, Rahim Mundine withdrew from a scheduled bout with Geoff Matthews after suffering a calf strain during training, causing him to pull out of the event headlined by Nikita Tszyu vs. Michael Zerafa in Brisbane. The camp attributed the decision to the calf injury and emphasized prioritizing his recovery and long-term readiness.[1]
- Prior to that, there were mixed social and media updates from 2025 about Rahim Mundine’s ring activity, including highlights from interviews and mentions of upcoming opponents, but no definitive long-term fight schedule beyond 2025-2026 period in the sources I reviewed.[2][3]
If you’d like, I can do a fresh search for the very latest articles, or pull coverage from specific outlets (BoxingScene, local Australian boxing media, or YouTube fight commentary) to confirm any new developments or upcoming fights. Would you like me to do that? I can also summarize any new article you have in mind.
