Anthony William Mundine OAM (born 9 June 1951) is an Australian former boxer, and one of the country's most accomplished Indigenous fighters.

He showed promise and was offered a place with the Redfern All Blacks in the South Sydney Junior Rugby League in 1968 at age 17.

Rather than return to Baryulgil to work at the asbestos mine between seasons he kept fit at Ern McQuillan's gym in Newtown, Sydney, where he showed natural ability and speed.

[6] He fought many top boxers including Emile Griffith, Monty Betham, Steve Aczel, Bennie Briscoe and Alex Sua.

[citation needed] On 26 January 1986 Mundine was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for "service to sport particularly to boxing and to aboriginal youth".
