Canelo Alvarez: Mbilli Calls Him Out
New WBC super-middleweight champ Christian Mbilli wants Canelo Alvarez next: “I’ll show I’m better” [https://boxingnewsonline.net/news/canelo-offered-title-shot-by-new-champ/, https://boxing247.com/boxing-news/canelo-alvarez-targeted-by-new-wbc-champion-christian-mbilli/302745] after Canelo's third career defeat last year.
Mbilli's promoter, Camille Estephan, believes the fight is realistic, emphasizing Mbilli's mandatory position and Canelo's search for worthy opponents. Alvarez suffered a unanimous decision loss to Dmitry Bivol in May 2022, and many fans feel he is declining. Mbilli's team seems to think now is the right time to strike. Mbilli (27-0, 23 KOs) secured the WBC super-middleweight title with a dominant victory over Rohan Murdock, stopping him in the fifth round. This win has boosted his confidence and profile significantly.
