Middleweight Hamzah Sheeraz will face the mettle test of his career when he takes on former world title challenger Liam Williams at London’s Copper Box Arena on Saturday February 10.
Sheeraz (18-0, 4 KOs), the WBC Silver champion, comes into the fight after two impressive and quick victories over River Wilson-Bent and Dmytro Mytrofanov, who were each swiftly dispatched, each in the second round.
The 26-year-old fighter will be making the third defense of his WBC Silver belt.
Welshman Williams (25-4-1, 20 knockouts) returned to winning ways in November with a quick victory over Nizar Trimech at York Hall.
Sheeraz believes success against a fighter of Williams’ caliber and profile will serve to raise his profile in British boxing fan circles.
