Middleweight Hamzah Sheeraz will face the mettle test of his career when he takes on former world title challenger Liam Williams at London\u2019s Copper Box Arena on February 10.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The 26-year-old fighter will be making the third defense of his WBC Silver belt.
\nWelshman Williams (25-4-1, 20 knockouts) returned to winning ways in November with a quick victory over Nizar Trimech at York Hall.
\nSheeraz believes success against a fighter of Williams\u2019 caliber and profile will serve to raise his profile in British boxing fan circles.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This fight was initially going to take place in December, but Hamzah suffered an injury from which he is now fully recovered.<\/span><\/p>\n
