Hamzah Sheeraz

Hamzah Sheeraz, who fights in the middleweight boxing category, managed to emerge victorious over Liam Williams with an unbeatable performance that lasted only one round. This impressive feat took place in the city of London.

The British boxer maintained his unbeaten streak, winning 19 consecutive matches. He knocked Williams down twice due to his exceptional swiftness.

At 24 years old, Sheeraz fulfilled his vow to make an impact by defeating Williams, a previous contender for the world title.

Sheeraz stated that there were many individuals who doubted his ability to compete with such an elite fighter before the fight.

I express myself through my actions inside the ring. Once I step into this space, I aim to provide amusement.

Throughout the fight week, Williams appeared to be self-assured and conveyed that Sheeraz's team made a grave error in agreeing to the match. However, his overconfidence was swiftly eliminated.

The Welshman couldn't handle Sheeraz's powerful jabs and punches, causing him to fall to the ground in less than a minute. He also suffered another knockdown shortly after due to an excellent uppercut counter from Sheeraz.

At the ringside, Frank Warren, who is a promoter, rejoiced with Sheeraz as he displayed an outstanding performance against his most threatening adversary ever. Sheeraz is one of Warren's most promising young talents.

Warren recommended that Sheeraz should face Chris Eubank Jr, a fellow Englishman, as his next opponent. He also expressed admiration for his own fighter.

Warren commented that the fighter's jab strongly resembles Tommy Hearns', as it is able to knock out opponents effectively. The amount of force behind the jab is truly remarkable, according to Warren.

I honestly think that a new rising star is emerging and I strongly believe that he will become a world champion and keep that title for as much time as he desires.

In the pre-fight matches held at the Copper Box Arena, Anthony Yarde made progress towards facing off against his old adversary Joshua Buatsi by quickly defeating Marko Nikolic.

Buatsi was present at the ringside and he witnessed Yarde's defeat of Nikolic in just three rounds through the suitable positioning and robust application of body shots.

At the age of 32, Yarde managed to enhance his already remarkable knockout record to a total of 24 stoppages out of 25 victories.

Buatsi followed Yarde at the ringside during his interview after the fight. He apologized at once for interrupting Yarde's special moment, but they both confirmed that they were discussing a match for the upcoming summer.

Yarde stated that both of them have decided to initiate it.

"If Artur Beterbiev were to fight Dmitry Bivol, and Joshua and I could fight for a title that may become vacant, that would be the cherry on top."
