A crucial super middleweight clash is set as Britain`s Hamzah Sheeraz faces Edgar Berlanga, with a potential world title opportunity on the line for the victor.
Berlanga is looking to continue his recovery after a 2023 loss to boxing icon Canelo Alvarez. The American bounced back strongly in March 2024 with a dominant first-round knockout victory.
Sheeraz, a promising undefeated British fighter, is also seeking a rebound after a controversial draw against Carlos Adames in February for the WBC title. He is determined to maintain his perfect record.
This fight sees Sheeraz moving up in weight, adding another challenge as he recently recovered from a broken hand sustained in the Adames bout. Berlanga aims to capitalize on these factors and inflict the first defeat on the Brit.
The fight headlines an exciting card which also features Shakur Stevenson against the undefeated William Zepeda in the co-main event.

What has been said?
“For this fight, I`m the B side here really because Sheeraz is Turki`s guy. I know he wants him to win. I can`t let that happen. My back is against the wall and I just want to hurt him. I want to go in there and perform. I want to show the world what I can do, what I`m about. I know he will be at his very best because this is his moment, I`m his Canelo. So, I have to be the same. I want to win this and get my rematch with Canelo.”
– Edgar Berlanga
“He is a serious fighter. I respect what he brings and I know it will be a good fight. He is one of my toughest fights, but not better than I`ve fought before. Plan is to throw a few jabs and then stick a right hand on his chin and it`s goodnight.”
– Hamzah Sheeraz
