Anthony Mundine says he won't stand for the national anthem before his rematch against rival Danny Green, saying it's racist.
""It's a racist anthem and doesn't represent our people. It's disrespectful to our people," the controversial boxer told News Corp Australia on Monday.
He's called on singer Jessica Mauboy to not go ahead with singing the anthem at the Friday bout in Adelaide because "it's not for our people. They are just using her because she is black."
