The French boxer Christian Mbilli once again impressed with a KO from the first round against the Polish Maciej Sulecki Friday in Quebec to seize the acting WBC belt of the super-media.
Mbilli continues to be intractable and spectacular, everything you need to hope to get a world chance, in this case in the face of legend Canelo Alvarez, who continues to ignore it for the moment.

Always undefeated, Mbilli (30) won his 29th victory (24 before the limit) on Friday in as many fights by sending SULECKI on the ground of a terrible uppercut of the right after only a little more than two minutes of combat.
Following a chain of hooks in the face, Mbilli struck his opponent to the body, opened his angle for a fatal uppercut to the Polish who, after having painfully raised, was arrested by the referee.
“I wanted to make him pay”
“I am very happy with my victory. I expected everything, every opportunity I wanted to make it pay, ”said Mbilli at the microphone in the room.
The native of YaoundĂ© has been chaining convincing successes since his arrival in Canada and his visit to professionals in 2017, making him a legitimate candidate for a fight for a belt, in a category dominated by the Mexican Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (63 victories, 2 defeats), superstar of boxing.
Since May 4, Alvarez has been holding the four world belts of super-media (-76,203 kg) again. But rather than fighting an aspirant, the Mexican favors more lucrative confrontations. He therefore has an appointment with the American Terence Crawford, super-tailters champion, for a mega fight in Las Vegas on September 13.
With its expeditious success against Sualkki, Mbilli could respond to the invitation of the all-powerful Saudi promoter Turki Alashikh to appear on the world championship program between Canelo and Crawford.
