Frank Warren Envisions Future Clash Between Canelo Alvarez and Hamzah Sheeraz

Renowned boxing promoter Frank Warren has suggested that a future bout between boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez and up-and-coming talent Hamzah Sheeraz could be on the horizon. This speculation comes as Sheeraz prepares to face WBC middleweight champion Carlos Adames in a highly anticipated match this Saturday.

Sheeraz, an undefeated British boxer with a 21-0 record (17 KOs), enters the ring as the favorite despite being the challenger. The boxing community is already buzzing about the potential trajectory of this rising star in British boxing.

In a recent interview, Warren discussed the possibilities that could unfold for Sheeraz if he emerges victorious against the Dominican champion Adames, who holds a 24-1 record (18 KOs). Warren stated, “Should Sheeraz triumph in this fight, he could be a viable contender for Canelo. While Canelo’s next two fights are set with William Scull and Terence Crawford, a Canelo-Sheeraz matchup could potentially be his third engagement.”

Canelo, the Mexican boxing sensation, recently inked a four-fight deal with Turki Alalshikh and Riyadh Season. Although discussions of a Sheeraz-Canelo fight may seem premature, Warren expresses confidence in Sheeraz’s ability to dethrone Adames on Saturday, potentially setting the stage for a series of high-profile bouts.

Warren praised Sheeraz’s journey and skills, saying, “He’s faced formidable opponents and climbed the ranks the hard way, from small venues to where he is now. Sheeraz has evolved into a proficient, accomplished fighter who’s thrilling to watch in the ring and an exemplary ambassador for boxing outside of it.”

As the boxing world eagerly anticipates Saturday’s match, the possibility of a future Canelo-Sheeraz showdown adds an extra layer of excitement to the sport’s landscape.
