Press Release:
As initially planned, Christian Mbilli will be part of the boxing card on January 13, 2024, at the Centre Vidéotron, featuring the unified WBC, WBO, and IBF light heavyweight world champion, Artur Beterbiev, facing British contender Callum Smith. He will defend his WBC Continental Americas and WBA International titles in the evening's semifinal against the #9 IBF contender, Australian Rohan Murdock, broadcast live on ESPN in the United States and Punching Grace in Canada.
Images of Christian Mbilli's most recent performances against Nadjib Mohammedi, Carlos Gongora, or Demond Nicholson have circulated around the world, positioning him as the #1 WBC contender, #2 in the WBA, and in the rankings of the Ring Magazine at #3 in the IBF. Although these performances should open more doors for him in the super middleweight division, Christian Mbilli (25-0, 21 KOs) faces the congestion created by the illustrious unified world champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. It is with this in mind that his team has selected the Australian boxer, hoping that their protégé's performances will make him indispensable in the 168 lb division and enable him to secure a mandatory contender fight. As Murdock possesses an equally offensive style as Mbilli's, Eye of the Tiger ensures that boxing fans will witness an explosive spectacle on January 13.
