Meet Hamzah Sheeraz The Future Star of Boxing. Money, Deceit, KOing Berlanga, Canelo fight [u5K6wBB7AJe]
Hamzah Sheeraz: The Unfiltered Truth About Pressure, People, and Pain In this raw and revealing conversation, Hamzah Sheeraz joins Darren Barker for an emotional deep dive into the highs, lows, and hidden costs of life at the top of British boxing. At just 25, Hamzah has already fought in Riyadh, dominated at Wembley, and completed for a world title — but behind the knockouts and belts lies a story of early sacrifice, personal struggle, and brutal lessons learned under the spotlight. From paying household bills at 15 after his father was imprisoned, to nearly quitting boxing entirely before his comeback, Hamzah shares never-before-heard stories about his journey to the top. He opens up about the pressure of being Frank Warren’s team captain in Saudi’s 5v5, the backlash after his draw with Carlos Adames, and why that fight felt like a loss — mentally, emotionally, and professionally. With complete honesty, Hamzah breaks down how fame affected his mindset, why he left his team, the brutal reality of online abuse, and how his faith keeps him grounded through it all. Now training with Andy Lee and moving up to 168lbs, he reflects on what's next — and why fighting Edgar Berlanga in the US could be the turning point that redefines his career.
