**Mbilli’s Dominant Win Over Derevyanchenko Sparks Call for Canelo Showdown**
In a thrilling display of power and tenacity, Christian Mbilli overcame an early shoulder injury to deliver a stunning performance against Sergey Derevyanchenko. Despite a compromised left shoulder, Mbilli’s relentless aggression and formidable punching power overwhelmed Derevyanchenko, showcasing his readiness for the next big challenge in boxing.
The bout, characterized by its raw intensity, saw Mbilli capitalizing on Derevyanchenko’s own physical struggles.
Derevyanchenko, dealing with an injured bicep from the early rounds, found himself increasingly vulnerable as Mbilli’s relentless attacks broke through his defenses.
Trainer Marc Ramsay has since confirmed that Mbilli’s shoulder injury is likely a minor tear, expected to heal with rest, but it did not deter his performance.
Camille Estephan, President of Eye of the Tiger Management, which co-promotes Mbilli along with Top Rank, asserted that Mbilli’s dominance in the ring clearly positions him as a prime candidate for a high-profile bout against Canelo Alvarez.
Estephan emphasized that Mbilli’s performance was not only impressive but also presented a significant challenge to Alvarez, who currently stands as the top contender in the division.
In the wake of his victory, Mbilli has expressed his readiness to face the best in the sport.
“I’m ready for big fights,” Mbilli stated. “I want to be a world champion.
I know that to be the best, I have to beat the best. I don’t want to say any names, but everybody knows who’s number one. I want the fight with number one.”
This call for a fight with Canelo Alvarez underlines Mbilli’s ambition and the growing expectation that he is prepared to take on the elite of the boxing world.
