British middleweight Hamzah Sheeraz has exploded in the past year with some sensational performances, catapulting him to be one of the countrys greatest young fighters. As a result of his excellent showings of skill, speed and power, he has set himself up for a world title shot already. Now he has provided an update on his dream of achieving this.
Sheeraz has had a phenomenal year defeating Liam Williams, Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams, and Tyler Denny all by knockout.
Moreover, due to his latest two outings on ‘Riyadh Season’ cards impressing Turki Alalshikh so much, he has become an ambassador for ‘Riyadh Season’.
He is the number one ranked middleweight in Great Britain and he is ready for his shot at a world title.
This week it was confirmed that he will get his shot at world honours, etching his name in history, on February 22nd.
It was then revealed that a fight between Sheeraz and WBO champion Zhanibek Alimkhanuly could not be agreed between the respective teams, therefore it would go to purse bids.
These purse bids have been set for November 18th.
Alimkhanuly holds both the IBF and WBO world middleweight titles and is widely regarded as the best in the division.
Much like Sheeraz, he has recorded stoppage victories in his last three outings against Steven Butler, Vincenzo Gualtieri and Andrei Mikhailovich.
However, despite the talk of world honours, Sheeraz has taken to his Twitter/ X account to confirm his thoughts on the situation.
”Lots of rumours of potential fights. I leave all negotiations to my promoter Frank Warren and my advisors in Spencer brown and Adil Ditta while I grind away in camp. One thing I can say is come February I will be a world champion In Sha Allah”
Sheeraz has said that he does not negotiate himself and he leaves that to his team.
Nevertheless, he has said that he will become world champion come February.
The Brit has shown that he will fight anyone and the way he fights is brilliant to watch from a fans perspective.
If his world title shot is against Alimkhanuly, then it should be one of the fights of the year.
Lots of rumours of potential fights. I leave all negotiations to my promoter @FrankWarren and my advisors in Spencer brown and Adil Ditta while I grind away in camp. One thing I can say is come February I will be a world champion In Sha Allah 👊🏼👊🏼
