The Blue at Uluru! Anthony Mundine, 40, wants an $8M rematch with Danny Green, 43 in the desert - ten years after the former NRL star defeated the ex world champion

Anthony Mundine wants to stage his much-anticipated rematch with Danny Green beside the sacred backdrop of Australia's red centre.

Ten years after he defeated Green in a unanimous points decision in Sydney, Mundine has proposed to set the stage for a rematch at Uluru.

Speaking to radio station Triple M the former Illawarra Dragons star said he no longer wanted to stage the reported $8 million showdown in Melbourne and instead wanted a 'Blue at Uluru'.

Forget the 'Rumble in the Jungle' - Anthony Mundine wants a 'Blue at Uluru' (pictured) with Danny Green at Australia's red centre

'I would like [the fight] to be at Uluru…We'll talk to the traditional owners and we'll see what we can do.'

The fighters were initially hoping to stage the bout in Melbourne in August, but Mundine's latest wish throws an Australian landmark into the promotional mix – a sacred Aboriginal site that would carry special significance for the 40-year-old Indigenous Australian.

However, probably the most pertinent issue to be resolved for the bout to go ahead is agreement on what weight they will step into the ring at.

Mundine is prepared to fight significantly lighter than Green, who he wants to drop to 83kg but only if he gets a 60-40 share of the purse.

'If I'm going to give up 13kg … then give me something. Give me some motivation to do it,' Mundine said.

'It's never been done in boxing history, someone from super welterweight, jump all the way over light heavyweight to catch weight.'

A catch weight describes a weight limit for a fight that does not fall in line with the traditional limits for weight classes.

Regardless of the jump-in weight, Mundine typically backed himself to win even if Green entered the ring over 10kg heavier.

'I'm ready to go man. I told ya. 60-40, I will whip his a***. I will knock his a*** out, for real,' Mundine said.

Mundine lost his most recent fight to American Charles Hatley, while Green pulled out of his most recent fight (in November 2015) against Konni Konrad with a back injury.

During the radio interview, Mundine also talked up a possible return to the NRL.
