Ituma, Benn, Sheeraz: Who are the next generation of world champions in Great Britain?

Published

on

With Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua potentially in the last year of his career, British boxing needs up-to-date stars.

Ten years ago, Great Britain had 12 men’s world champions at the end of 2015: Tyson Fury, James Degale, Billy Joe Saunders, Kell Brook, Liam Smith, Anthony Croll, Lee Selby, Scott Quigg, Carl Frampton, Jamie McDonnell, Terry Flanagan and Lee Kastins.

Today there are only two world champions of the British men: world champion WBA Feather in a featherweight Nick Ball and a up-to-date world champion in welterweight IBF Lewis Crocker.

– Eubank Jr. vs. Benn: Azim, Cattell on Undercard
– Crawford, Álvarez and the fall of the superfigure

If British boxing is to avoid falling to the lowest point from the first quarter of 1988, when he did not have world boxing champions, until Lloyd Honeyghan did not knock Jorge Vaca to the title of WBC World Sitter, he needs a ball and a crokker to win during the production of up-to-date masters.

Who are the next generation of world champions in Great Britain and how quickly they can win the belt?

Moses will bite

Ituma (13-0, 11 KO) was hailed as a champion, waiting for leaving a trace of destruction behind him since he became a professional in 2023. It was not impressed by Chatham in Kent, who as a child moved to England from Slovakia.

Ituma signed up as if he had a meeting to stop elsewhere, which he saw how he got rid of eight opponents in the first round. In his last fight, in August, Ituma defeated what was supposed to be his most challenging task with great ease when he blew up Dillian Whyte in the round.

Whyte was detained in round 6 by Fury for the title of WBC World in April 2022.

Will the world champion title soon win?

No, only to the possibilities and belts that are owned by the undisputed master Oleksandr Usyk. But ITAUMA six feet four became a real contender. Perhaps he will have to wait until the belts are crushed from one title holder when he can fight for a free title.

He takes care of the first position in WBA and WBO, so as long as he wins, the fight for the title of world champion can be realistic at the end of 2026 after retiring or leaving the titles. However, his next fight in Manchester on December 13 will not have the title of world champion.


Anthony Yarde

Yarde (26-3, 24 KO), 33, hopes that this will be for him for him for the third time in the fight for the title of world champion, when he will face the WBC heavyweight champion on November 22, David Benavidez in Saudi Arabia.

Londoners were detained by the Russian Power Punchers Artur Beterbiev and Sergey Kovalev in lightweight heavyweight shots in 2023 and 2019, respectively. But Yarde repaired his career after these harmful losses and won the fight against the trilogy with the English rival Lyndon Arthur in April to get a chance.

Will the world champion title soon win?

Benavidez (30-0, 24 KO), 28 years ancient, who became the youngest champion of the super medium average of World Super Middle masters in 2017, will start a robust favorite to keep his title in the first defense. A few months ago, Yarde was involved in the fight against Artur with Artur, but Benavidez dominated the victory of Uds over David Morrell in February.


Chris Eubank Jr.

If Eubank again defeats Conor Benn in a match with a medium injury at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London on November 15, it is said that in Saul “Canelo” Alvarez or Terenka Crawford (despite the same trainer, Brian “Bomac” McIntyre) in great weight.

After rematch vs. Benn, Eubank, can opt for a super medium weight, even though he is in the top five out of 160 pounds in three of the four world management bodies.

Great fights are waiting in 2026, but will they be for world titles or against substantial names without world titles on the line?

Will the world champion title soon win?

Defeating such as Canelo and Crawford got livid with the Almighty for Eubank Jr., despite his impressive vs. Benn.

At the age of 36, Eubank ends time to win the full world championship title. If there is an immediate rematch between Crawford and Canelo, Brighton boxer can pay attention to the title of medium weight, which would be more possible.

If he manages to comfortably make the average Eubank weight to be able to beat any of the masters.


Dalton Smith

Smith (18-0, 13 Kos), 28, from Sheffield in northern England, is to challenge the WBC World Junior Intheight, Subriel Matias (23-2, 22 KO), 33, next, but he will have to go to Puerto Rico for his first world title this year.

Smith was a convincing winner over Mathieu Germain last time in April, but Matias will be a step from everyone he met.

Will the world champion title soon win?

A trip to Puerto Rico is a challenging task for Smith, but Matias did not consistently dominate in most decisions on Alberto Puello in July.

Australian Liam Paro also won a unanimous decision over Matias in Puerto Rico last year, which will provide Smith Zada. Smith will have to survive the periods for backfoot vs. Matias, and then enforce your own authority to cause nervousness.


Hamzah Sheeraz

Sheeraz bounced off the disappointing draw with the world champion of WBC, Carlos Adames to start his super medium weight in the style of 5 KO Edgar Berlang in July.

Sheeraz (22-1, 18 Kos), 26, from London is in a good position after just one fight in super middle weight and maybe he will not have to wait long for his next world title.

Will the world champion title soon win?

The world title Sheeraz hopes whether the undisputed global super average weight will remain in the division to defend its belts, or there is an immediate rematch vs. Canelo.

While Sheeraz is waiting for his opportunity, he could face Christian Mbilli in a stepping stone for the title of world champion. Defeating Canelo, especially Crawford, would be a challenge for Sheeraz, but don’t be surprised if he got a chance in 2026.


Conor Benn

No world championship title will be on the line when Benn will face the English rival Eubank Jr. On November 15, when Benn will compete above his optimal fighting importance much above again.

Benn pushed Eubank Jr heavily in an intensive meeting at the beginning of this year, which was praiseworthy, considering that he jumped to two classes of weight. Revenge at Eubank would be the perfect start for the title of the world, but the defeat would leave him further drifting or relying on Master, who accepted voluntary defense.

Will the world champion title soon win?

At least not this year. Benn is in the top ten only in the junior medium weight by one of four world management bodies and is better placed in welterweight; Is number 5 from WBA, No. 4 from WBC.

As long as he can still reach a limit of 147 pounds without prejudice to his performance after two fights in medium weight, Benn could face the WBC champion Mario Barrios or IBF Crocker master in the entire British meeting in 2026.

Crocker, who won the IBF welterweight belt at the beginning of this month, is promoted by Matchroom, just like Benn.


Josh Kelly

Kelly (17-1-1, 9 Kos), 31, is on the edge of his first fight with the title of Master after he was promoted in two organ rankings in the world.

He has become a mandatory claimant for the middle-grade Master IBF Bakhram Murtazaliev (23-0, 17 KO), and promoters talk about fighting.

Kelly is also the first queue to challenge the owner of WBO Xander Zayas (22-0, 13 KO). The Sunderland boxer has been constantly progressing since he left the welterweight after David Avaneyan stopped him in February 2021.

Will the world champion title soon win?

32 -year -old Murtazaliev from Russia, but based in California, destroyed Tim Tisz in three rounds a year ago, but he has not fought since then. It is a unsafe blow, but Kelly is an bright boxer who must try to avoid getting in.

If the fight is staged in a London place, Kelly will support.

Sam Noakes

Noakes (17-0, 15 Kos), 28, made a constant progress from the British and European champion to win his first world title against 21-year-old Mason from Ohio Abdullah in Saudi Arabia on November 22.

Noakes, from Maidstone in Kent, will have to carefully walk against the unsafe Puncher Mason (19-0, 17 KO) in what can potentially be an explosive meeting in the free lithe of WBO World Lightweight Title.

Will the world champion title soon win?

Noakes’s strength could be decisive if he can survive in later rounds, but he is nervous about winning his first world title against a skillful boxer.


James “Jazza” Dickens

A boxer from Liverpool could be the next world champion in Great Britain, without throwing a blow if he is raised from the WBA master to the WBA master of the world master of lightweight.

Lamont Roach Jr, WBA Master Junior Lightweight, recently in a lithe box and expected to abandon his title to boost weight.

Dickens (36-5, 15 Kos), 34, is in the best position of his career, which was sometimes far from competition for the title of world champion. He was detained in trials of the world title in a featherweight and junior featherweight in 2021 and 2016, but he upset the opportunities when he knocked out Russian Albert Batyyrgaziew, a golden medalist at the Olympic Games in 2021 in Turkey in July.

Will the world champion title soon win?

It depends on the next Roach movement and if you give up the waist 130 pounds.

Jazza is to fight Hayato Tsutsumi (8-0, 5 KO), an undefeated Japanese perspective, in Saudi Arabia on December 27 and cannot afford a lost, considering his promising position.


Galal yafai

Boxer Birmingham Yafai (9-0, 1 NC, 7 Kos), 32, was well beaten during the last exit, but the unanimous defeat of the points from the Mexican Francisco Rodriguez Jr (40-6-1, 27 Kos), in an eliminator for WBC Flyight Title, was transferred by unexpected professions after it was Rodriguez for positive support.

When Rodriguez was positive, Yafai still has a momentary WBC title, which he won impressively, stopping the English rival Shining Edwards almost a year ago.

This means that Yafai is a mandatory pretender Ricardo Sandoval, 26, from California, who won the title of WBC in July, to become the United World Champion.

Will the world champion title soon win?

Yafai is in a good position to find the title shot in the next 12 months-but it faces a challenging task vs. Sandoval (30-4, 18 KO), who went to Japan to defeat Kenshiro Teraji for WBC and WBA titles.

The Olympic gold medalist 2021 must wait to discover Sandoval’s plans to see if he will face him next.

Janibek Alimkhanuly Shifts Perspective on Hamzah Sheeraz: A New Dynamic in Boxing

Published

"Janibek Alimkhanuly Shifts Perspective on Hamzah Sheeraz: A New Dynamic in Boxing"

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.

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.
