Christian Mbilli Is the New WBC World Champion: Frenchman Calls Out Canelo Alvarez

The new full WBC super middleweight champion, Christian Mbilli, has named the opponents he would like to face in the near future. Mbilli was elevated to the status of full world champion after his scheduled bout against Hamzah Sheeraz was canceled due to stalled negotiations.

“For me, this represents a lot of work. For me, today is a dream come true. I worked for this, and today, I think, is the most beautiful day of my life.

Now I am a world champion. I am going to enjoy the moment, enjoy the next day. I am going to sit down with my team to find out, to see how we can defend the title.

Canelo and Munguia — they are very good fighters. I think they are in the top 3 of the division. It would be a great pride for me to fight them. Now we will see, I will talk to my team, maybe we can do something to get a big fight.

You know, I really admire Canelo's career. He is a very good fighter. I hope to fight him very soon,” Mbilli said.

In 2025, Christian Mbilli (29-0-1, 24 KOs) fought twice — he knocked out Maciej Sulecki and fought to a draw against Lester Martinez.
