The May 9 installment of Premier Boxing Champions is taking shape with the addition of a jr. middleweight clash between former champions Austin Trout and Anthony Mundine. Trout recently revealed the news that was later confirmed by PBC officials. The bout will likely be the co-main event to the 140-pound debut of former 135-pound champion Omar Figueroa Jr., who takes on former two-division champion Ricky Burns.



"I started training camp in late February. When I started I didn't know I was fighting Mundine; I found out last week it's going to be him on May 9th," Trouted stated in an interview with SoutwestFightNews. "He went around Australia lying, saying that I didn't want him...I'm sure half his country wants me to shut him up. I'll go be an Aussie savior."
