Mundine Trout postponed due to ear infection

Anthony Mundine has been forced to postpone his fight against American Austin Trout because of a "severe ear condition".
The WBC super welterweight bout - one of the most significant of Mundine's career - was scheduled for this Saturday in San Antonio, Texas, but the Australian boxer on Monday announced his doctors have told him he won't be able to fight.
"Mundine is suffering from a severe ear condition which doctors say will cause him serious and potentially permanent damage if he continues with the bout," a statement tweeted by Mundine said.
"The ear condition was first noticed after sparring and got progressively worse the next day during his flight to the USA.

You guys probably dont know this; but that guy standing holding Mundines hand up is Mick Gatto one of the Melbourne underworlds top men and one of its only survivors afte the internal wars here 10 years ago.The guy Gatto shot, Andrew "Benji' Veniaman was a young hit man with a favorite side he played for and had topped a lot of people (mostly from the Italian section called the Carlton crew) He wacked them off for a top drug dealer here (who later got bashed to death in jail with a piece of gym equipment while reading the paper at a table) Some of the Italian connections killed were Micks friends and associates so make of it all what you will. The man is a survivor of the darkest streets here. He went for his boxing promotion licence out here a few years back but they refused him saying they dont want the sports name tarnished by his infamy etc. The below happend in Carton in a favorite restaurant of Micks.


In 2004 Mick Gatto was charged with the murder of suspected underworld hitman Andrew Veniamin and remanded in custody for 18 months. He was found not guilty at trial, during which Gatto claimed he had acted in self-defence after Veniamin pulled out a .38 and threatened to kill him. Gatto claims that during a struggle he was able to turn the gun around on Veniamin and fire one shot into his neck, and one shot in the eye. He also claimed that during the argument, Veniamin had implicated himself in the deaths of Dino Dibra, Paul Kallipolitis and Graham Kinniburgh.[1]

Veniamin died in the La Porcella restaurant in Carlton on 23 March 2004 at around 2.30pm after being shot by former associate Domenic "Mick" Gatto. Gatto was charged with his murder but acquitted on self-defence grounds.[2]
