Steel City's Chris Mulunda rocks the Rock
Chris Mulunda has chalked up his fourth successive win after victory in a unique even in Gibraltar
Chris Mulunda is making a name for himself in boxing with remarkable speed.
The Steel City gym middleweight only turned professional nine months ago.
Yet he earned a spot on Josh Padley's European title show at Sheffield Arena last month and on Saturday night appeared on a unique bill in Gibraltar.
The 23-year-old chalked up his fourth successive win on a show hosted by Full Monty Promotions, run by boxing brothers Kriss and Evan Montegriffo, alongside former Sheffield-based world champion Sunny Edwards.
It was the company's first major, full-scale professional fight card on the 'Rock', and Mulunda won all four rounds.
He was up against Colombian Joel Julio, who has stopped no fewer than 33 of his previous 39 opponents, at the Europa Point Sports Complex.
Mulunda, from Rotherham, will now be hoping to further strengthen his profile by featuring on the Matchroom undercard of Dalton Smith v Alberto Puello at Sheffield Arena, probably on October 24.
He is managed by Edwards, who will be hoping to get him on his pal Smith's first world title defence, now the WBC champion has recovered from an elbow injury.
Darnall's Steel City gym hosted Kriss Montegriffo as part of his camp for the weekend fight and he described it as "an incredible experience.
"I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to train alongside some of the best" posted Montegriffo.
"A huge thank you to the Smith family for welcoming me with open arms and making me feel like part of the family from day one.
Steel City is an outstanding gym, built on hard work, humility, and a championship mindset. It was a privilege to be a part of that environment."
