Just moments into the first round, he experienced the strength of Sheeraz when a left hook sent him to the mat. Although the punch didn’t connect perfectly, it was powerful enough to knock the Black Country fighter down.

Denny bounced back quickly in the next couple of minutes of the round, staying low and putting in serious effort to engage in close-range exchanges. His goal was to neutralize Sheeraz's risky reach advantage.

He was filled with energy as he made his way back to his corner after the bell rang, hitting himself on the head in annoyance over his quick fall.

In the second round, Sheeraz maintained his advantage by showcasing his speed, strength, and aggression. He took the initiative, leaving Denny with little to no chances to counter.

Denny appeared to experience brief happiness as he focused intensely on his work inside the ring, landing quick, solid punches to the body. However, he soon fell victim to a quick flurry of hits that sent him back to the floor again.

After that, he was able to rise and continue, but referee Mark Bates decided to stop the fight, much to the dismay of the champion who was defending his title.
