Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 KOs) last fought on the undercard of the undisputed light heavyweight title rematch between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev, where he challenged WBC middleweight champion Carlos Adames. Sheeraz's first world title shot ended in a split decision draw following a close 12-round battle. 

Berlanga (23-1, 18 KOs) meanwhile kicked off his 2025 in the best possible way with a first round knockout win over Johnathan Gonzalez-Ortiz in March.
