Hamzah Sheeraz (18-0, 14 KOs) is all set for the most formidable challenge of his budding boxing career as he goes glove-to-glove with the seasoned former world title challenger Liam Williams (24-4-1, 19 KOs) at the Copper Box Arena and will be broadcast live on ESPN+.
Reigning as the WBC Silver champion, Sheeraz has recently made headlines with his swift victories over opponents like River Wilson-Bent and Dmytro Mytrofanov. As he gears up to defend his WBC belt for the third time, he’s also safeguarding the Commonwealth title he previously snatched from Wilson-Bent. Williams, the gritty Welsh pugilist, following some stumbles, recently clinched a redeeming victory over Nizar Trimech. With this bout, he's firmly set his eyes on re-entering the championship echelon.
This duel is pivotal for both combatants. Sheeraz perceives this as a golden ticket to solidify his standing among British boxing aficionados. “This is the matchup that will define my trajectory,” he shared, emphasizing the formidable challenge Williams, with his global credentials, brings to the table. “The Machine” Williams reciprocates the sentiment, pointing to the significant buzz their upcoming bout has garnered on social media and acknowledging the distinct challenge Sheeraz's style presents.
Promoter Frank Warren is all praise for the imminent face-off, lauding it as a potential “middleweight classic.” Recognizing the mettle of both fighters, Warren is convinced that a win for Sheeraz could be his gateway to the elite league of the division. No matter which way the wind blows, the boxing community is poised for an edge-of-the-seat encounter.
