In Quebec City, young boxer Christian Mbilli displayed his talent in a match against the seasoned Sergiy Derevyanchenko, clinching a clear win through a unanimous decision. Despite Derevyanchenko’s best efforts, Mbilli’s relentless assault proved overwhelming, especially as an injury to Derevyanchenko’s bicep confined the former title contender’s left hand in the fourth round. Mbilli maintained his dominance even after disclosing a shoulder injury later in the fight.
Despite facing adversity, Derevyanchenko demonstrated admirable tenacity by continuing to fight with one arm and even transitioning to a southpaw stance during the match. Mbilli commended his opponent’s bravery, while Derevyanchenko remained resolute in defeat, pointing to his injury as a significant hindrance.
Now positioned as a leading contender in the super middleweight category, Mbilli sets his sights on a potential showdown with unified champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Eager to secure a world championship title, Mbilli feels prepared for the test and anticipates facing the division’s elite fighters soon. Following Alvarez’s upcoming bout with Edgar Berlanga, Mbilli envisions himself as a worthy challenger for the titleholder.
