Mundine must fight a top player for chance of third bout, says Geale International Boxing Federation world middleweight champion Daniel Geale said Anthony Mundine's planned bout with American star Sugar Shane Mosley - who is on the comeback trail - was not enough to pave the way for a third bout between the pair. Geale, who leaves for the US on Friday to defend his crown against England's Darren Barker on August 18, defeated Mundine in a bout that was charged with emotion after Mundine described his fellow Aborigine's three children during January's pre-fight press conference as "too white." The Tasmanian's defence against Barker, which will be his American debut, is considered a significant step in Geale's desire to dominate the division. Mundine's yet-to-be confirmed bout with Mosley, who defeated Pablo Cesar Cano in his recent comeback bout after a year's break, appears to be an intention to get his name back in lights after his last-start loss to Geale.

"At this stage, I'd be very surprised," he said of staging a third fight. If Anthony comes out and challenges somebody very highly-ranked it could possibly be considered. I proved against Anthony I'm the best middleweight in Australia, and if he wants to challenge he needs to prove he's up to that level. Geale said while he respected Mosley, he'd question the 41-year-old's motive if he was to fight in Australia. He said that even should Mundine win the fight, he'd need to do more to push for what would be a financially lucrative rematch. "It's not a good fight for me," he said of Mundine-Mosley. He was such a great fighter and I have a huge respect for Shane Mosley. Oscar De La Hoya is one of my favourite fighters, and for [Mosley] to defeat him twice took some skills. But, Mosley coming out [here] ... I'd question if it was just for the money. Geale's immediate priority is his fifth title defence against Barker, who will enter the ring in New Jersey with a six-centimetre height advantage. Geale has sparred about 150 rounds as preparation. "I don't dream about him but I do think about Darren Barker a lot," he said.
