That fight, against the 33-3 (13 KOs) Sulecki, will be Mbilli’s first taste of something like a world title. The 36 year old from Warsaw, Poland is coming off his biggest win in recent years – a final round stoppage of Ali Akhmedov in February – and has challenged for a world title before, when losing via shutout to Demetrius Andrade in 2019 for the WBO middleweight title. His other notable losses have come against Pacheco and Daniel Jacobs, providing an opportunity for Mbilli to measure himself against those notable names as well.
