Boxing Challenge

   Two Friday fights start the boxing weekend with matches hailing from Quebec City and Wichita, Kansas.

The better matchup of the pair hails from Canada as unbeaten super middleweight contender Christian Mbilli meets veteran Maciej Sulecki for another wonderful interim/minor title.

Mbilli earned his biggest victory last August with a unanimous decision win over veteran Sergiy Dereyvanchenko and is having problems finding top opponents who wish to face him in high-risk/low-reward fights, as both Jaime Munguia and Diego Pacheco have passed on title eliminators against Mbilli.

Sulecki has been around the block and is a solid fighter who has suffered each of his three losses when he stepped up against tough competition in defeats to Demetrious Andrade, Daniel Jacobs, and his most recent fight when he was stopped for the first time by Diego Pacheco in the sixth round.

Mbilli and Diego Pacheco are considered the future stars of the division, so Mbilli's performance will be measured by Pacheco's win over Sulecki.

In Wichita, Kansas, on a BLK Prime Pay Per View, former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder starts his comeback against journeyman Tyrell Herndon.

The almost-forty-year-old Wilder has lost four of his last five fights, and his last two with Zhilei Zhang brutally knocking him out in five rounds one year ago.

Herndon has fought one foe of note, former Olympian Richard Torrez, who stopped Herndon in two rounds and was stopped in four of his five defeats, so it's pretty clear why Herndon has been selected as the opponent.

If Wilder has hopes of turning his career around, he'll need an impressive KO of Herndon.
