ANTHONY MUNDINE has sought to clarify his controversial 9/11 comments after being taunted while he sparred at Floyd Mayweather's gym before his first fight in the United States against Bronco McKart next weekend.
Mundine, who sparred seven rounds with two opponents last Friday at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas, was upset that people in the gym wanted to see him hurt because they believed he supported the terrorist attacks on America on September 11, 2001.
A month later, he said: ''They call it an act of terrorism, but if you can understand religion, and our way of life, it's not about terrorism. It's about fighting for God's law, and America's brought it upon themselves."
Yesterday he said: ''One of my team overheard them say to the second guy I sparred to try and hurt me because, 'He had disrespected us and our country.'
