Rahim 'CJ' Mundine (born 12 July 2001) is an Australian professional boxer.
Early life
Mundine was born in Sydney, Australia to a father of Indigenous Australian descent (Bundjalung)[1] and a mother of African American descent.[2] His father, Anthony, is a former IBO middleweight and WBA super-middleweight world champion[3] and his grandfather, Tony, fought Carlos Monzón for the WBA middleweight world title in 1974,[4] making Rahim a third generation professional boxer.[5][6]
His father also played rugby league professionally and became a premiership player with the Brisbane Broncos in 1997 as well as a New South Wales State of Origin representative in 1999.[7] In his younger years, Rahim was an aspiring rugby league junior who played in the NSW Cup for South Sydney and the Wests Tigers before switching his focus to boxing full-time.[8]
Boxing career
With no amateur experience, Mundine began his professional boxing career in 2022 at the age of 20 years old when he defeated Fijian Lepani Levatia by unanimous decision at the Aware Super Theatre in Sydney.[9] After several years away from the ring, Mundine returned for his second professional bout in July 2025 at the age of 24. He was victorious via a second round TKO against Joe Vatusaqata in Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena.[10] Following the win, Mundine vowed to defeat Danny Green's son Archie in the future and put his family's name ahead in the Mundine v Green rivalry that was popularised by their fathers in the 2000s and sits at one win each.[11] Mundine's third fight marked the first time he had been televised during his career and he defeated Lance McDonald by unanimous decision while being heavily booed by the crowd in Newcastle following the announcement of the winner.[12]
