Edgar Berlanga says he is going to “Make him filthy” AND “Embarrass” Hamzah Sheeraz on July 12 at their Headliner at Queens, Fresh York. The former claimant for the title of the world super medium weight Berlang (23-1, 18 KO) used the British 6’4 ″ fighter, Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 KO), today at a press conference in Fresh York.
Edgar pretended to first shoot a gun at Sheerase, gluing his hand near his face. He switched to a shooting machine when they were far apart, enjoying him. Sheeraz had a stoic appearance all the time, trying not to show emotions, being humiliated by Berlang.
Will Berlanga embarrass him?
Berlanga-Hamzah will meet at the 12-round main event on July 12 at the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens, Fresh York.
“To fight Canelo and fight in Munguia, I have to throw this guy. I have to embarrass him. I have to get him filthy,” said Edgar Berlanga Fight Hub tvSpeaking of Hamzah Sheeraz. “He will come to fight, but this is a different level. I will show him on July 12. I shot the pistol in Eddie [Hearn]. F *** eddie i f *** sheeraz and f *** you too. “
When Turki Alalshikh talked today during a press conference, he talked about great things for the winner of the fight of Berlanga vs. Sheeraz. He mentioned the name of Canelo Alvarez, which means that Edgar can get a rematch from Canelo if he wins in Sheeraz. Even if Berlanga has to fight someone else like Jaime Munguia, he can still face Alvarez in 2026.
“I introduce myself to Turki. After this fight, when I throw this guy, I intend to create a much better relationship [Turki] He, where we will do much bigger things, “said Berlanga.” Don’t get wrong. I’m talking about my ***, but I will support it. You have guys who talk about their s ***, but when they get on the ring, they are *** their pants. They just go for cameras. When they go fight, they are not who they are. “
Berlanga needs an impressive sheerase knockout to motivate Turks to utilize it for other critical fights. Turki, of course, likes sheerase, but Edgar can get him with a knockout convening to a convening on July 12. His popularity in the USA will augment with Ko of Sheeraz, and he will be the most popular warrior in 168, next to Canelo.
“Muddy” Berlanga strategy?
“This fight means a lot. If I beat this guy, it’s over. The game time,” said Berlanga. “I fight in Fresh York in the main event. 14,000 people. Either knockout, or beating him *** and beating him badly. Doing it filthy and doing it wrong. I want his children to feel this. I want his mother to feel it. I want [his trainer] Andy Lee feel it again ***. “
Nokaut is what Berlanga needs to impress the crowd and fans watching PPV. Defeating Sheeraz is not enough. I need a knockout in this fight. It will be captivating to check if Berlanga can sell the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens, Fresh York for this fight. He probably won’t receive a lot of lend a hand from Shakur Stevenson, who comes from nearby Newark, Fresh Jersey.
“This man wants to go there and knock out. You heard him. He wants to do many things for me. My son will be there. Which children will cry first? I want his children to cry first. Not mine,” said Berlanga.
Hamzah said that Berlanga would pull in several times, and then knocking him on his right hand on July 12. He looked earnest when he spoke. Sheeraz will try KO, but if it doesn’t happen early, he’ll get KO.

Janibek Alimkhanuly spent months trying to get Hamzah Sheeraz into the ring. Now that Sheeraz has vacated his WBO super middleweight title, Janibek is asking fans to stop saying the former champion ran from him. That is generous. It also leaves Janibek with less to say about a fight he wanted badly.
He’s not afraid of me. He didn’t run from me. He made his decision based on his own plans. He has his own goals! He’s my brother, and I ask everyone to stop saying he ran from me. He’s a great fighter, and I have nothing but respect for him! @sheeraz_hamzah 🫂 pic.twitter.com/uxZlegqSmH
— Janibek Alimkhanuly (@qazaqstyle) September 26, 2026
Janibek’s tone has changed since the purse bid. He was eager to fight, said money was not his priority, and publicly pushed Sheeraz to accept. Queensberry then bid $1,001,809 to stage the ordered defense, beating Top Rank’s $820,000 offer. Sheeraz’s 75 percent share would have been roughly $751,000. Days later, he gave up the belt.
That sequence deserves a closer look. Queensberry put a serious number on the fight, so the bid itself cannot be dismissed as proof that nobody valued it. But winning the right to promote a title defense means little to fans when the champion vacates before it happens.
Sheeraz has objected to Janibek receiving a mandatory shot after his failed drug test. He is entitled to explain that position. Fans are equally entitled to ask why the issue reached a purse bid before he surrendered the title. Janibek’s post supplies no answer.
Perhaps Janibek sees no benefit in branding Sheeraz a coward. Doing so would also make the opponent he chased sound less valuable. Calling Sheeraz a great fighter preserves the idea that this was an important contest, even after the belt and the fight slipped away.
The respect between them may be sincere. Janibek still gets no Sheeraz fight, and Sheeraz no longer has to defend his title against Janibek. A friendly photo does not change either result.
