Hamzah Sheeraz Looking Ahead To Canelo

Next man up for Canelo?

That humility paired with his dominant U.S. debut makes Sheeraz a compelling potential challenger for  Canelo Alvarez. He’s not calling out Canelo with arrogance, he’s doing it with reverence and readiness. It’s a matchup that now feels less like fantasy and more like inevitability.

Hamzah Sheeraz is making it crystal clear. If he gets the Canelo fight, he’s coming to fight not to survive.

At the post-fight press conference, Sheeraz doubled down on his respectful yet fearless pursuit of boxing’s biggest star.

“One thing I can guarantee is if I do ever share the ring with Canelo, it’s not going to be the case of what happened in his last fight where his opponent William Scull was trying to run. I promise you guys it’s on camera. Even if I get knocked out, I’ll stand there and trade with him.”

“I’ll put on a good performance because that’s what it’s about, daring to be great and I’ll do just that.”

This is exactly the kind of talk that earns fighters title shots not just calling out a name, but promising to bring the fight. Sheeraz isn’t just angling for a payday. He’s looking to test himself against the best and entertain while doing it. In a landscape where many avoid risk, Sheeraz is embracing it.
