The main event for the Top Rank Boxing card on ESPN features a 10-round clash between Christian Mbilli and Maciej Sulecki for the WBC interim super middleweight championship. This anticipated bout is scheduled to take place on Friday at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City.
Christian Mbilli enters the fight with an impressive undefeated record of 28 wins, 23 by knockout, since turning professional in 2017. The 30-year-old has demonstrated significant power throughout his career, finishing most opponents within the distance.
Maciej Sulecki, a 36-year-old veteran with a record of 33-3, 13 KOs, is looking to challenge Mbilli`s perfect run. Sulecki is coming off a 10th-round technical knockout victory in February, bouncing back after a prior loss.
