Press Release:
Y12 Boxing recently won a purse bid to organize the IBF eliminator fight between the world’s No. 3 and No. 4 contenders, Christian Mbilli and Kevin Sadjo. Of the winning bid amount of $878,000 USD, 60% would have gone to the EOTTM fighter as the higher-ranked contender. Nicknamed “Solide,” Mbilli was ready to travel to France for this fight, but he wanted assurance that he would indeed receive the purse he was promised. In the end, as the French promoter refused to negotiate anything beyond the IBF’s minimum requirements, Team Mbilli was forced to explore other options.
EOTTM is now revisiting its initial plan: an interim WBC world championship fight.
The main request was for his full purse to be deposited into an escrow account at least five days before the event. However, the French promoter—who was also attempting to schedule the event on May 8, beyond the initially agreed deadline of April 30—was unable to meet this requirement.
