Glory Awaits: Can Hamzah Sheeraz Conquer Giza?

Andy Lee firmly believes his charge Hamzah Sheeraz (22-0-1, 18 KOs) is on the path to total domination at 168-pounds. Sheeraz’s ultimate goal? To unify the division and emulate the glory of his idol by becoming the undisputed super-middleweight king. It’s an ambitious target, but the unbeaten star gets his shot at history on Friday, May 23rd, live on DAZN, at the spectacular ‘Glory in Giza’ event. Challenging Germany’s Alem Begic (29-0-1, 23 KOs) for the vacant WBO World Title, Sheeraz aims to secure his first major world honour. The bout is set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, serving as the chief support to the Oleksandr Usyk vs. Rico Verhoeven heavyweight blockbuster. With a victory, Sheeraz—whose shocking power has drawn comparisons to the great Thomas Hearns—plans to insert himself as the mandatory roadblock for any superstar seeking to claim all the marbles. If Lee’s prediction holds true, May 23rd is just the first step toward a reign of undisputed supremacy. 📸: The Ring Magazine
