Former champion Anthony Mundine is suffering an elbow injury less than two weeks before the biggest bout of his career against fellow ex-champion Austin Trout - but ever-confident, "The Man" is certain it won't deter him.

Mundine flies out on Thursday bound for Texas in the hope of claiming the WBC Silver middleweight title when he takes on Trout next Saturday night.

"I've had the problem for the last couple of weeks but that was last sparring session so I'm going to stay off it and recover," Mundine said on Wednesday.

"I doubt it will affect my power but if it does, I'm a fighter, I'll fight with one hand."
