Hamzah Sheeraz is fighting for the title after winning the battle with a debt of 800,000

Published

After the fight against the debt worth 800,000 pounds, Hamzah Sheeraz is now aiming for greater wealth in the world fight for the title of medium weight.

In the form of English medium weight in his first world title against Master WBC Carlos Adames from the Dominican Republic at Kingdom Arena on Saturday in the Riyadh season in Saudi Arabia.

Adams vs. Sheeraz is part of the latest arranged card, which is to be issued in Saudi Arabia and bankned with the deep pockets of the Riyadh season and Turki Alalshikh, president of the general entertainment authority of Saudi Arabia, which is a passant of great events in Riyadh. The undisputed world fight for the title in ponderous weight between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitryjum Bivol is at the top of the bill.

Sheeraz (21-0, 17 KO) increased to the elite level of medium scale division, stopping the last 15 opponents. In his last fight, Sheeraz destroyed Tyler Denny in two rounds for the European Crown during a seasonal event in Riyadh at the Wembley stadium in London, England in September.

Earnings from Sheeraz’s last fight allowed him to pay off the debut of 800,000 pounds, which he owed his family for supporting his boxing career.

“I can’t thank his Excellency [Alalshikh] It is enough because he changed the boxing landscape and helped me get out of the debt I was in, “said Sheeraz Espn.

“If it weren’t that I would be indebted for the next two or three years. I cleaned it after my last fight. It was about 800,000 pounds for my family, for training and travel costs. It was a massive hit, but if it was a massive hit, but if it was a massive hit, but if it was a massive hit, but if you were believed in your vision and journey, there is no reason why you can’t achieve your goals. “

25-year-old 25-year-old six feet of three Sheeraz, who comes from Ilford in Eastern London, needed money to pay for his fees for travel, accommodation and training after making a decision with coach Ricky Funez at the boxing gym in Los Angeles.

“I’ve been to Ricky for four or five years and this is our tenth training camp together,” said Sheeraz ESPN.

“I joined forces with Ricky after he came to Great Britain and we were presented by a joint friend. I did a training session, which really went well, I learned a lot from this two -hour session and decided to conduct California to become full of hours by him.

“It’s not basic to be away from home, but I got used to it. My friends and family understand the task, and when it comes to being from birthday parties and religious festivals, it’s just something I have to do for the next few years.

“Some great warriors trained there in the past, and Joe Gososen is always there. It’s nice to have someone like him to get certainty and advice. “

Sheeraz, whose dad Kamran played cricket for Gloucestershire, was much more busy than Adames (24-1, 18 KO), 30, who did not shine in the first defense compared to 37-year-old Terrell Gausha in June, his only, his The only one, his only one, his only one, his only, his only, only trip in 2024. Sheeraz stopped Liam Williams, Austin Williams and Tyler Denny last year, which in his opinion was a great preparation for his great occasion.

“Adames was not very busy, but he is not a master for some reason and he can hit, so it is not an basic fight, but I prefer to have it in this way than an basic fight, and people say you received the title,” said Sheeraz. Espn.

“Frank Warren specializes in developing teenage fighters like me and I did not become a professional after the best amateur career. But he showed my faith in me and got fights at the right time of my career, just like this, just like this. “

One fight, which can be in the agenda next year, is against the English rival Chris Eubank Jr., who will face Conor Benne on April 26. Eubank Jr. It is a high ranking: one place below Sheeraz in WBC rankings.

“If he [Eubank] He wins his next fight, and I will win another fight, it’s a great summer fight – said Sheeraz ESPN. “Let’s see what will happen, he is a character and draws attention, but I think Conor will win.”

Sheeraz came to Saudi Arabia after two weeks of training in Dubai after his training camp in California. He was promoted by his professional debut in September 2017 by Queensberry Promotions Frank Warren. Warren believes that Sheeraz is arduous for his first world title after proving that he is ready with a masterful victory in the 11th round over “Ammunition” Williams in June. Sheeraz was 134 blows to 73 Williams and dropped the American with the right hook in round 10, after which she later forced the detention.

“I thought a few fights ago that he was ready [for a world title fight] But I wanted him to gain a little more experience, “said Warren.

“In 5 vs. 5 [vs. Williams]He was caught with a few good arrows and went through it. He can fight and can fight inside. This is his moment and he must go and show what all this is about.

“He had really good performances and I feel that he can go through it, but he is in a high -quality warrior.”

Growing up, Sheeraz’s favorite boxers were Ricky Hatton and Nass Hamed. Both British boxes had gigantic fans of fans because of the electrifying knockout style. Sheeraz has the potential to do the same.

Tyson Fury Raises Doubts on Potential Anthony Joshua Fight: "I Can Never See Him Taking That"

Tyson Fury has raised serious concerns over his proposed showdown with Anthony Joshua.

After over a decade of build-up, Fury and Joshua finally look set to meet later this year, provided that both men can first come through their respective warm-up bouts this weekend.

Fury takes on Mariusz Wach in Thailand on Friday, before Joshua then meets Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia 24 hours laterseemingly paving the way for the all-British showdown at the end of 2026.

‘The Gypsy King’ still doesn’t seem convinced that it will happen though, as he shared his doubts whilst speaking to IFL TV.

“Until that fight happens and we’re walking to the ring, I’m not convinced it does. 100% [I’m doubtful].

I can never see that stiff sitting on a table with me ever. What the f**k is he going to say? I can never see him at a press conference with me, it would be a bombardment. I can never see him taking that.

“He wouldn’t even get in the ring [after the Makhmudov fight]. He s**t himself and sat on a stool outside and didn’t even want to get up and build the fight and make the fight happen when Turki said to us both ‘come on boys let’s do it get in the ring and make it happen.’

“He didn’t want to do it, so how is he going to come face to face with me at a press conference? I think he’s a bottle job, a flapper, a chinless wonder as well.”

Despite Fury’s fears, all signs still point towards the fight taking place later this year, though there still remains a debate over where it will be held.

Two Brits Set for World Title Showdown as Dmitry Bivol Primed to Vacate WBO Belt

"Two Brits Set for World Title Showdown as Dmitry Bivol Primed to Vacate WBO Belt"

Dmitry Bivol looked as if he was ready to move on from a trilogy fight with Artur Beterbiev, but it now seems as though the unified light-heavyweight world champion is ready to run it back with his rival, thus opening the door for two Brits to compete for one of his belts.

Bivol claimed the undisputed light-heavyweight crown in February 2025 when he avenged his defeat to Beterbiev with a majority-decision win, but he soon relinquished the WBC marble – which was then handed to David Benavidez.

After 15 months of inactivity, Bivol returned to action in May to fulfil his IBF mandatory and shake off some ring rust against Germany’s Michael Eifertbut it was then believed that Bivol would proceed with his WBO mandatory and next face Liverpool’s Callum Smith, much to the frustration of Beterbiev.

Yet, in an interview with Ring MagazineBivol’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has revealed that the 35-year-old is instead keen for a third fight with the Russian-Canadian. Therefore, he expects Bivol to vacate the WBO world title in order to make it happen, with Smith likely to rematch Joshua Buatsi for the vacant belt.

“I think it’s unlikely he will defend against Smith. I think Smith will fight Joshua Buatsi for the vacant title. But Dmitry is ready to make the Beterbiev fight.”

Smith decisioned Buatsi on the Beterbiev-Bivol II undercard in a Fight of the Year contender and Smith is yet to fight since, whilst Buatsi was seen as fortunate by some to get the decision when he returned and fought Zach Parker in November.

Smith and Buatsi could be set to top the bill of the second ‘Matchroom vs Queensberry’ event, which will likely take place in November.

Hasim Rahman Declares One Heavyweight as the Greatest Ever: Ali Would Be Too Small for Him

"Hasim Rahman Declares One Heavyweight as the Greatest Ever: 'Ali Would Be Too Small for Him'"

Former world champion Hasim Rahman believes that, in any era of heavyweight boxing, one man would solidify himself at the top of the tree.

‘The Rock’ is best known for his monumental upset victory over Lennox Lewis in 2001when a stunning fifth-round finish saw him claim the WBC and IBF titles.

Before their heavyweight encounter, many had questioned the logic behind Lewis’ training camp in Las Vegas, given that he was to defend his titles in South Africa.

Not only that, but ‘The Lion’ afforded himself little time to adjust to the African nation’s high altitude, with his performance ultimately reflecting a lack of preparation.

Lewis did, however, manage to produce a much improved display in their immediate rematch, reclaiming his titles with a ruthless fourth-round stoppage.

As a result, Rahman has since named his former foe as the greatest heavyweight of all time, above the likes of Muhammad AliJack Dempsey and Rocky Marciano.

Unlike those three all-time greats, Rahman told BBC Radio 5 Livethat Lewis not only possessed impeccable ring intelligence but could also utilise his physical attributes to a much greater extent than others.

“I’m finding it hard to put somebody ahead of him. In any era … I just really don’t know who could beat him.

“[Ali, Dempsey, Marciano…] Those guys were too small. I mean, Ali was too small for George Foreman back then, when he was a smaller version of Big George, so how could he deal with someone like Lennox – who is huge and can move, and can use his distance well?

“I think it’s really unfair to compare eras, but I just don’t know who could deal with that man.”

Lewis was a three-time world heavyweight champion, and up until Oleksandr Usyk repeated the feat in 2024, was the last undisputed heavyweight champion following his win over Evander Holyfield in 1999.

After defeating Rahman, Lewis also scored an eighth-round finish over Mike Tyson and ended his illustrious career by stopping Vitali Klitschko in six rounds.
