Finally, Christian Mbilli (25 years old, 17 wins, including 16 before the limit, 0 loss) should return to a ring on April 22 in New York State, possibly at West Point. Initially, the French super-middleweight (-76.203 kg), who lives in Montreal, was to face the Ukrainian Ievgen Khytrov on March 18 in Puerto Rico, but the latter, weakened by the Covid-19, withdrew. Mbilli’s promoter, the Canadian Camille Estephan, who can not organize anything in his country at the moment because of the sanitary conditions – it is difficult to bring in boxers, because foreigners have to observe a fortnight -, had thought of having him reboxed in a meeting in New York this Thursday, April 8, but it did not materialize.

“The American organizers canceled because they failed to conclude the star fight, nor mine, which was the second most important of the gala, regrette Mbilli. More than fifteen opponents refused to face me, including seven after signing the contract! The last, an American, claimed that he had sprained his ankle. So my fight on April 22, I’ll believe it when I’m in the ring. A Mexican is planned, but it is not yet official. But, morally, I’m fine, I’m staying the course, I’m the optimistic type. It’s complicated for everyone. And I’m lucky enough, because I’m in a rich category in Canada and, in my training room, I can cross the gloves with good men, including the Canadian David Lemieux, ex-IBF middleweight champion, who is mounted category. “
