The fight between Christian Mbilli (29-0, 24 KO) and Lester Martinez (19-0, 16 KO) for the interim WBC world title in the weight category up to 76.2 kg on September 13 in Las Vegas is becoming increasingly likely. Negotiations on this matter are already in full swing.
Mbilli last entered the ring in May, winning by technical knockout against Maciej Sulecki. Lester has only fought once this year, winning by knockout in March against Joshon James.
The main event of the September tournament at the Allegiant Stadium will be the fight for the world champion title in the super middleweight category between Saul Alvarez and Terence Crawford. The live broadcast of the tournament will be available on Netflix.
Also expected in September is the long-awaited heavyweight bout between Jared Anderson and Jarrell Miller. Official confirmation of all fights is expected soon.
