CHAMPION RESPONDS: CHRISTIAN MBILLI WELCOMES CHRIS EUBANK JR. CHALLENGE FOR WBC WORLD TITLE
Christian Mbilli is the new WBC champion! Analyse his response to Chris Eubank Jr.’s move to the 168lb super-middleweight division.
Christian Mbilli, the WBC super middleweight champ, sounds more than ready to take on Chris Eubank Jr. After WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman gave the matchup his stamp of approval, Mbilli said he’d welcome the fight.
Eubank Jr. isn’t backing down after that rough loss to Conor Benn at middleweight last November. He didn’t look like himself at all, went down twice, and lost big on the scorecards. After that, a lot of people figured it was time for him to retire.
But his promoter, Ben Shalom, says Eubank Jr. isn’t done yet. He’s moving up to super middleweight for one last shot.
Mbilli is waiting for him. “Of course! See, that’s what I’m talking about,” Mbilli told World Boxing News. He likes the idea of a big fight, something the fans would love. “I would love to represent Cameroon, France, and Quebec, Canada, across the world.”
Sulaiman made it clear the WBC is on board. “Absolutely [he can fight for a world title],” he told Sky Sports, talking about Eubank Jr. “Chris Eubank is a tremendous fighter. I believe he sacrificed too much with the weight, and he's a natural fighter for that division. Great potential. He's a world-class fighter without a doubt. We're going to look at what’s next for Mbilli and the division.” That includes names like Canelo, Munguia, Lester Martinez, and Luka Plantic. Sulaiman sees plenty of big fights for Mbilli.
Mbilli just moved up from interim to full WBC super middleweight champion last month. The WBC first tried to set up a fight between him and Hamzah Sheeraz for the vacant title, but negotiations stalled. That fight fell through, and Mbilli got named as Terence Crawford’s successor.
Mbilli is still undefeated with 29 wins, 1 draw, and 24 knockouts. His last fight was in September, where he fought Lester Martinez to a draw on the Canelo Alvarez vs. Crawford undercard in Vegas.
UNLICENSED TO UNDISPUTED? FABIO WARDLEY’S INCREDIBLE JOURNEY TO FACING POWERHOUSE DANIEL DUBOIS
Fabio Wardley faces Daniel Dubois on May 9! Get all the fight details, records, and ticket news for the WBO heavyweight title clash.
Fabio Wardley is set to defend his WBO heavyweight title for the first time against Daniel Dubois on Saturday, May 9. They’ll headline a DAZN card at Co-op Live in Manchester, and honestly, this one feels like fireworks from the jump.
Wardley (20-0-1, 19 KOs) comes in hot, fresh off an 11th-round TKO over Joseph Parker last October in London; that win grabbed him the interim WBO belt. Not long after, he got bumped up to full champ status since Oleksandr Usyk decided not to bother with a mandatory defence.
Dubois (22-3, 21 KOs) took a similar route. He stopped Filip Hrgovic in eight to claim the interim IBF title earlier this year, then got promoted to full champion and defended against Anthony Joshua less than four months later. That night, Dubois knocked Joshua out – huge moment, massive statement. After that, he faced Usyk again in a high-profile rematch, but Usyk took over and finished things in the fifth round, briefly unifying the belts for a second time.
This fight? It’s shaping up to be a slugfest. Neither Wardley nor Dubois is winning awards for defence; they’re both heavy hitters, and someone’s getting hurt. For Wardley, 31, this is the biggest puncher he’s ever faced. For Dubois, 28, it’s a risky move after his recent loss, but the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Promoter Frank Warren put it plainly: “This is quite simply the most exciting and explosive fight available for Fabio’s first defence of his WBO world title, and it tells you everything about him that this is the fight he demanded.”
No word yet on the undercard.
Wardley doesn’t mince words about his approach. “I’ve never been in this game to play around; I’m committed to big fights only. I’m the champion, this is a voluntary defence, and I chose this. I’m not about to win a world title and then take easy fights or hide away with it; I’m not running off with my belt. One thing you can’t ever say about me is that I’ve shied away from a challenge. I’ve always gone looking for the biggest tests, and I’d back myself against anyone in this division.”
Dubois fired right back: “The world title reign is over for Fabio, and I will become champion again.”
WBC MANDATE: OLEKSANDR USYK ORDERED TO FACE AGIT KABAYEL AFTER NEXT VOLUNTARY DEFENSE
WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman confirms Oleksandr Usyk must face Agit Kabayel. Discover the latest on the mandatory title order.
Nobody’s sure who Oleksandr Usyk will face next, but one thing’s set: after his next voluntary defence, he has to fight Agit Kabayel. That’s straight from WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman. Usyk, who holds the WBA, WBC, and IBF heavyweight titles, hasn’t fought since he tore through Daniel Dubois in five rounds last July. That win unified the division, but the undisputed glory didn’t last long; just a couple of months later, the WBO stripped him for skipping a mandatory defence against Fabio Wardley.
Usyk passed on Wardley with the expectation he’d meet Deontay Wilder next. The WBA, WBC, and IBF all gave Usyk the green light for a voluntary defence, clearing the way. But Wilder decided to fight Derek Chisora instead, which left Usyk without an opponent and the boxing world guessing.
Names like Andy Ruiz Jr and kickboxing star Rico Verhoeven have come up as possible opponents for Usyk, who goes by “The Cat”. But the real showdown on the horizon is with Kabayel. Sulaiman explained to Chris Mannix that Kabayel couldn’t step in earlier because he already had a fight lined up in January. Usyk requested a voluntary defence – pretty standard stuff. Now, he’s obligated to fight the interim champ next. No way around it.
Kabayel earned his interim WBC title by stopping Zhilei Zhang in six rounds back in February last year. He didn’t waste time after that, defending his belt this past January when he blasted Damian Knyba in front of a packed house in Oberhausen, Germany.
Instead of sitting out and waiting for his big shot, Kabayel wants to keep busy. His promoter, Frank Warren, is already planning another fight for him in the spring, possibly against top contender Lawrence Okolie. Warren told Ring Magazine, “We had the balls to go there, do it and take that chance. There’s always been a big love for boxing in Germany, and now they’ve got a hero. The arena sold out in just over a day. He’s fighting again in May, and next time, we’re aiming for an even bigger venue.”
