Hamzah Sheeraz may be the next man up for Canelo Alvarez.
Making his super middleweight debut on Saturday night inside Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York, Sheeraz scored a highlight-reel finish against Edgar Berlanga, putting away ‘The Chosen One’ mere seconds into the fifth round of their main event clash.
The victory made him just the second fighter to defeat Berlanga, and the first to knock him out.
Sheeraz rocked Berlanga with a left hook with 45 seconds to go in the fourth round.
