Who is Shabaz Masoud's next opponent, Ckari Cani Mansilla?

Shabaz Masoud faces Ckari Cani Mansilla on September 19

The stylish British boxer Shabaz Masoud (15-0, 4 KOs) will fight for the first time this year against risky Argentinian opponent Ckari Cani Mansilla (19-4, 13 KOs) on September 19 at the Co-op Live in Manchester, on the John Hedges vs Pat Brown card.

Masoud is already a European and World champion, unbeaten in 15 bouts and coming off two huge wins in his eight-year pro career over 16-0 Liam Davies and 12-1 Olympian Peter McGrail. However, he has only fought once in the past 22 months, so the 30-year-old 'Maverick' is looking for a big win to get his name back in the mix again.

His 16th foe is not that well known by British boxing fans, so GBN have compiled a list of facts about the visiting fighter looking to cause yet another upset on UK soil.

Who is Ckari Cani Mansilla?

Ckari Cani Mansilla was born July 6, 1992, in Cordoba, Argentina.

He won his pro debut on May 20, 2016 against Maximiliano Jorge Suarez by third-round knockout. They had a rematch seven months later in December the same year, which Mansilla lost by half-a-point on the scorecards after going down in the second round.

He challenged for the South American super-bantamweight title.

His career-best win came last year, May 2025, against undefeated American Dylan Price. Mansilla landed a chopping right hand to the chin of the WBC Silver champion to KO him towards the end of the eighth round of their 10-round contest on the MisFits Boxing card headlined by Darren Till.

The 34-year-old has boxed in 119 rounds over 23 contests. 

He has won 81.8% of his professional contests.
