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.

Undefeated KO Artist Claims His Power Will Be Too Much for Dmitry Bivol

"Undefeated KO Artist Claims His Power Will Be Too Much for Dmitry Bivol"

Unified light-heavyweight world champion Dmitry Bivol is regarded as the very best at 175lbs, but there is a new player in the division who believes that he can be the first to knock the slick Russian out.

Bivol became the first fighter to take Artur Beterbiev the distance when the pair collided for the undisputed title back in October 2024, but it was Beterbiev who claimed a majority-decision win and made history by becoming the first undisputed light-heavyweight ruler of the four-belt era.

However, just four months later, Bivol became the second, as he avenged his solitary career defeat with a majority-decision triumph of his own before vacating the WBC belt – which subsequently fell into the hands of David Benavidez.

Now, after Bivol returned to action with a points win over Michael Eifertit seems as though a trilogy showdown with Beterbiev is finally on the horizon, but the Russian-Canadian puncher is not the only knockout artist hoping to hand Bivol a first stoppage defeat.

Speaking to TalkSPORT Boxingafter a first-minute knockout of Sean Hemphill, Dutch light-heavyweight Gradus Kraus admitted that he cannot wait to face the likes of Bivol and knock them out.

“I want to make rounds, but you see I am too good for these guys and I know that I am the best in the world, I will be a future world champion.

“I can’t wait to step up in the ring against [guys] like Bivol and then I will show the world that I also knock them out because my power is too much.”

Boxing News understands that Kraus, who now has 11 knockouts from 12 wins, will return to action in October, with former Bivol opponent Craig Richards amongst the names being considered as a potential opponent.

Meanwhile, the unified champion has been ordered to face WBO mandatory challenger Callum Smith, though he may instead vacate the belt to make the third fight with Beterbiev.

Tim Bradley Predicts Canelo Alvarez vs Christian Mbilli: Hes Going to Piece Him Up

Tim Bradley Predicts Canelo Alvarez vs Christian Mbilli: "He's Going to Piece Him Up"

Tim Bradley anticipates a “hell of a fight” unfolding between Canelo Alvarez and Christian Mbilli, but only sees one man emerging victorious on October 31.

The pair will collide in a super-middleweight contest in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with Mbilli making a first defence of his WBC world title.

He was upgraded from ‘interim’ to full champion following the retirement of Terence Crawford, who became the undisputed 168lb king by dethroning Canelo with a unanimous decision victory in September.

That same night, Mbilli defended his then-interim belt with a 10-round draw against Lester Martinez, producing a performance that aptly reflected his high-volume style.

But while the Frenchman does, indeed, force a considerable pace in the ring, many doubt that this will be enough to trump the 36-year-old Canelo.

Despite coming to the end of his decorated career, the Mexican hardly disgraced himself against Crawford and, prior to that, had remained unbeaten since his 2022 defeat to Dmitry Bivol.

Not only that, but many feel Alvarez is a more technically savvy operator than Mbilli, who throws punches in bunches but typically comes forward in straight lines.

It is partly because of this that Hall of Famer Bradley, while speaking with FightHypehas predicted a dominant victory for Canelo.

“He going to piece Mbilli’s ass up. I like Mbilli – tough guy, comes to bring the pain. It’s going to be a hell of a fight. But Canelo going to catch and shoot on his ass all night long.

“Uppercuts, hooks … it’s going to be bad. [Canelo’s] going to look like he’s back [to his best].”

By “catch and shoot”, Bradley means he is expecting Canelo to punish Mbilli with his counterpunching prowess, even if the 31-year-old keeps springing back with relentless aggression.

Shakur Stevenson Challenges Devin Haney to Step Up Against KO Champion: You Have No Other Option

"Shakur Stevenson Challenges Devin Haney to Step Up Against KO Champion: 'You Have No Other Option'"

Devin Haney is currently searching for his next opponent and Shakur Stevenson believes there is only one option for him.

Haney hasn’t fought since becoming a three-division world champion when he defeated Brian Norman Jr by unanimous decision to win the WBO welterweight title back in November.

He has been rumoured to face a number of opponents since then, including Stevenson himself, but it looked like ‘The Dream’ would finally settle on a mandatory showdown with Keyshawn Davis after Top Rank won the purse bid for the clash last week.

Those plans went up in smoke when Davis pulled out of the contest, and Stevenson has explained why he thinks Haney now must target a battle against unified super-welterweight champion Jaron Ennis.

“You said you’d fight Conor Benn? You said you’d find Xander. Why the f**k you don’t say you want to fight Boots now? Matter of fact, you’ve got no other option.

“There’s nobody else on the table. There’s no me, there’s no Key[shawn Davis]there’s no Rolly. Who do you go to? Boots is free. Go get him.”

Ennis previously became unified champion at welterweight before moving up to 154lbs, making an instant impact in the new division when he stopped Xander Zayas in June to win the WBA and WBO super-welterweight titles.

It remains to be seen whether Haney would have any interest in moving up in weight to take on Ennis, with ‘Boots’ also having been linked to fights against IBF champion Josh Kelly, and fellow unbeaten star Vergil Ortiz.
