Cameroonian-French Christian Mbilli squares off against British Mark Heffron on Saturday, May 25 at Centre Gervais Auto in Shawinigan, Canada. The undefeated super middleweight brings to the ring his WBC Continental and WBA International titles. At the pre-fight press conference, the fighters went face to face for the first time.
Christian Mbilli (26-0, 22 KOs) makes his second ring appearance for the year. The 29-year-old eliminated Rohan Murdock in six rounds last time out in January.
Mark Heffron (30-3-1, 24 KOs) also fights for the second time in 2024 and targets his second win in a row. The 32-year-old stopped Serhii Ksendzov in the second round in February.
“Heffron’s a bruiser, I’m a bruiser, so it’s likely to go fast on Saturday,” Christian Mbilli said. “Don’t blink!”
