Canelo Alvarez and Christian Mbilli went face-to-face for the first time at the official launch press conference ahead of their blockbuster super middleweight showdown, live on DAZN. The unbeaten WBC champion Christian Mbilli made headlines with a series of bold comments aimed at boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez, claiming the Mexican icon has “slowed down” in recent fights and no longer carries the same explosive power that made him one of boxing’s most feared champions. Mbilli admitted the opportunity came as a surprise after Turki Alalshikh and Riyadh Season approached his team for the fight, but the dangerous French-Cameroonian contender says he believes the timing is perfect to shock the boxing world. The tense back-and-forth saw Mbilli openly discuss the possibility of knocking Canelo out, while also acknowledging that the undisputed champion remains one of the sport’s elite fighters with victories over top opposition. Could this be the fight where Canelo proves he still rules the super middleweight division — or is Christian Mbilli ready to pull off one of the biggest upsets in boxing? Watch the full launch press conference, face off, and all the reaction as Canelo Alvarez and Christian Mbilli begin the road toward their huge September showdown. #Canelo #CaneloMbilli #Boxing #DAZNBoxing #ChristianMbilli #CaneloAlvarez #Boxeo #PressConference #FightNews #RiyadhSeason Subscribe to Seconds Out for the latest boxing news: http://goo.gl/meA2GB Follow on Twitter: http://goo.gl/VDYVMP Like on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/secondsoutlive Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/secondsoutlive News website: https://www.secondsout.com/
