“Absolutely. Chris Eubank a tremendous fighter. I believe he sacrificed too much with the weight and he is a natural fighter for that division. Great potential. Super fighter,” said WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman Sky Sports. “He’s a world class fighter without a doubt.”
Mbilli works with short combinations that add up over late rounds, the type of work that tests conditioning and discipline. Eubank would be thrown straight into hard rounds.
Mandatory pressure builds as Warren Sheeraz backs up, forcing Eubank into immediate risk
The WBC is set to shake up the title picture in the coming weeks, with a line-up of hungry contenders piling up behind Mbilli, all looking for their chance.
“We’re going to address the situation in the next few weeks to see what’s ahead for Mbilli and the division. Obviously, Canelo, (Jaime) Munguia, Lester Martinez, Luka Plantic. There are so many fighters who can make big fights for the champion, Mbilli,” Sulaiman told Sky Sports.
Warren approached it like a promoter ready to close the deal.
“I’d do it all day long. All day long. I’d bet my house on Hamzah doing a job,” Warren told Sky.
Sheeraz carries range, straight punch and finishing accuracy that moves well against aggressive entries. This style forces Eubank to create distance early and accept difficult rounds.
Eubank’s return timeline still aligns with full physical recovery, but the division rarely stands still. Once the order tightens, contenders either accept the call or lose ground. At super middleweight, hesitation rarely survives the rankings.
