Christian Mbilli is in the face on June 27 Live on ESPN+ in a 12-round headlist in the VideoTron Center in Quebec City. Mbilli (28-0, 23 costs) is endangering his number 1 rankings with the WBC to stand up against #7 Sulecki (33-3, 14 COs) in a fight to position itself for a world title against the Unified Champion Canelo Alvarez.
Sulecki, 35, is there in age, but in his last fight seemed excellent and stopped Ali Akhmedov in the tenth round on February 28 in Astana, Kazakhstan. The performance showed the importance of staying active for fighters, as Sulecki kept itself sharp by fighting regularly.
You cannot exclude a victory for Sulecki in this battle because he has excellent technical skills to Mbilli, and his defense is on another level. Sulecki has a powerful stitch, and he can control the action with that weapon alone against Christian.
WBC -politics
This is a fight that Mbilli, 29, does not need to get an ultimate title. With the WBC probably not forcing the superstar Canelo to ever fight against him, he has to take the risks of putting pressure on him to face or vacate him. It can be more of the latter that we finally see.
Mbilli looked vulnerable in recent battles against Sergiy Derevyanchenken and Rohan Murdock. He hit a lot in both fights. Those performances showed that Christian would be in a race by the time he was fighting against Canelo, because the longer the fight went on, the more likely he would be to strike. He will have to get to the Mexican star before he landed one of his big shots for him to win.
“There is no way I leave without the belt on June 27. I want to say goodbye to my opponent because I have the courage to accept this challenge, “Mbilli said of his opponent, Sulecki.
The belt that Mbilli is talking about is the WBC in the meantime, and it is a placeholder and not a true belt. Under normal circumstances, Mbilli caught the belt that he would lead him to get a title shot. In this case, it is not because Canelo has the most important WBC belt, and he is fighting against whom he wants.
“Christian Mbilli is one of the most exciting fighters in boxing today, and this is the moment he waited,” said the top promoter Bob Arum. “He takes on a tough, experienced veteran in Maciej Sulecki, which has a great dismay. It has all the fire department in front of one of North America’s best boxing crowds. ‘
