Chris Eubank a tremendous fighter. I believe he sacrificed too much with the weight and he\u2019s a natural fighter for that division. Great potential. Super fighter,\u201d WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Sports<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s a world-class fighter without a doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mbilli operates with short combinations that add up across late rounds, the type of work that tests conditioning and discipline. Eubank would be thrown straight into hard rounds.<\/p>\n<p>Mandatory pressure builds as Warren backs Sheeraz and forces Eubank toward immediate risk<\/p>\n<p>The WBC is set to straighten out the title picture in the coming weeks, with a line of hungry contenders stacking up behind Mbilli, all looking for their shot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to address the situation in the following weeks to see what is coming up for Mbilli and the division. Of course, Canelo, [Jaime] Munguia, Lester Martinez, Luka Plantic. There are so many fighters who can make great fights for the champion, Mbilli,\u201d Sulaiman told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n<p>Warren approached it like a promoter ready to close the deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would do that all day long. All day long. I\u2019d bet my house on Hamzah doing a job,\u201d Warren told Sky.<\/p>\n<p>Sheeraz carries reach, straight punching, and finishing accuracy that travel well against aggressive entries. That style forces Eubank to create distance early and accept\u00a0 tough rounds.<\/p>\n<p>Eubank\u2019s return timeline still aligns with full physical recovery, yet the division rarely pauses. Once the order tightens, contenders either accept the call or lose ground. At super middleweight, hesitation rarely survives the rankings.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Galm is a boxing journalist who has covered the global fight landscape since 2014, specializing in heavyweight analysis, industry trends, and fighter psychology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cAbsolutely.
