ANTHONY Mundine has catcalled, made gay jokes and shadow boxed with poultry - but now it's the Redfern motormouth who stands accused of being chicken.
Frustrated Sydney middleweight Daniel Geale reckons Choc is using his celebrity status to dodge an order demanding he be given another shot at the IBO world title by February 27.
IBO officials announced the decision after three of their judges rescored the original May title bout between the fighters - with two insisting the belt should've been awarded to the fella who supplements his income training Wests Tigers players.
Geale, however, fears Mundine is now doing everything he can to sidestep the order. "I'm not holding my breath, no,'' Geale told The Daily Telegraph when quizzed about the fight. "Because Anthony knows there are easier ways to make money. That he can pick other fights that won't have him working anywhere near as hard.

"The whole thing has been incredibly frustrating actually. But whether it's May, June, July, this fight has to happen. And I'm still young. So the longer he leaves this fight the older he gets. That can only work in my favour.''
