In boxing, there are opportunities that can change a career forever. Christian Mbilli<\/a> is convinced that his moment has arrived. The undefeated French fighter of Cameroonian descent will have the most important fight of his career when he faces Sa\u00fal \u201cCanelo\u201d \u00c1lvarez on September 12 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in a bout that could reshape the super middleweight division.<\/p>\n

What has drawn the most attention in the run-up to the fight is not only the magnitude of the challenge, but also the confidence with which Mbilli has spoken about his chances. Far from being intimidated by the Mexican\u2019s prestige and experience, the champion believes this may be the best time to try to dethrone one of boxing\u2019s most important figures of the past two decades. \u201cOf course. He started very young. I think he was 15 or 16. He\u2019s had a lot of fights. I think his performance is on the decline, but he\u2019s still very dangerous. I think this is the perfect time to beat him,\u201d Mbilli said in comments published by the boxing outlet Mr. Verzace.<\/p>\n
