Canelo vs Crawford - DAZN News exclusive as Hamzah Sheeraz makes big prediction for major fight
Hamzah Sheeraz will be an interested spectator in Las Vegas next weekend when he gets a closer look at his potential next opponent.
The fast-rising star who destroyed Edgar Berlanga in the summer in now in pole position to face the winner of the September 13 blockbuster clash between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford .
The pound-for-pound pair meet in a fascinating encounter that will see Crawford step up two weight classes to take on the Mexican icon.
The super-middleweight division is hotting up once again and whoever emerges victorious later this month can expect a number of contenders to stake their claim in the coming weeks.
One of those fighters is Sheeraz and he will be watching closely next week as he continues to chase a world title in his new division.
At the start of 2025, Sheeraz faced questions about his ceiling when he was held to a draw in a messy encounter against Carlos Adames.
Leaving middleweight behind, Sheeraz moved up to 168lbs and his impact was immediate as he produced the best performance of his career to make light work of Berlanga.
That outing in New York made people take notice of Sheeraz and he is looking for his next big fight with Canelo or Crawford his preferred target.
Sheeraz has been linked to a huge showdown with Canelo for a long time, and he is confident that the legendary fighter can register another win when he faces Crawford.
“I’m so confident for Canelo and that’s not just because I want to fight him,” said Sheeraz when speaking exclusively to DAZN News .
“People are making far too much of Canelo’s recent performances without really saying much about Crawford’s last fight against [Israil] Madrimov.
“I was ringside in Los Angeles that night and you could see clearly that Crawford was having problems with Madrimov’s size and the way he was walking forward.
“Canelo is much bigger, has a better jab, and can apply the pressure much better than Madrimov can. I’m going with Canelo, and I’ve felt that way ever since the fight was first announced.”
