The career of champion Australian boxer Anthony Mundine is in doubt because of a serious eye infection.

The WBA super middleweight champion and former rugby league star is in a Sydney hospital and is suffering from limited vision, the Nine Network reported tonight.

After a standard operation last week, Mundine's left eye reportedly became infected over the weekend after he removed a protective contact lens at a restaurant and cleaned it using his mouth.

"I feared the worst, I feared I could lose the eye," Mundine said.

Mundine also feared for his boxing career.

"I just felt that maybe this it for me," he said.

"The doctor said it could be weeks, could be months for the natural healing process to take place."

Mundine, renowned for his self-promotion and outspoken nature, admitted the experience had genuinely scared him.

"You put yourself in that situation and you think you're going to lose an eye, or a lot of your sight.

"You'd definitely be scared too, especially if you're `The Man' Mundine."

I wear contact lenses all the time. This guy is officially a MORON! It's common practice that you don't put a contact lense in your mouth, let alone put it back in your eye.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, blatant self promoter, but damn good athlete.

Was a more than good NRL player and is now a more than handy boxer.
