Self -proclaimed “King of New York”, Edgar Berlanga, says he already has the ‘victory’ in the bag against Hamzah Sheeraz on Saturday, July 12, in their WBC Super Middleweight title Eliminator in Queens. Berlanga (23-1, 18 costs) mentions that all he has to do is show up in the Louis Armstrong Stadium room, ‘perform’ and raise his hand.
Edgar says Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 CO’s) was put under pressure to fight against him because Turki Alalshik told him to get the collision against Canelo Alvarez in 2026, he had to fight. He believes that it was a Hamzah mistake because he should have stayed in the middleweight and a Rematch with the WBC champion, 160-pound champion Carlos Adames fought to pick up the belt.
Sheeraz: hype -doubt
Berlanga maintains that Sheeraz really lost, but Turki gave him a draw and told him to “Go through fire” against him to get the Canelo fight. He is not the only one who thought she lost against Adames last February in their 12-round fought in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Many boxing fans won Adames with a large margin, and they were disgusted by the judges’ standings of the unilateral struggle. Sheeraz looked over the more experienced Adames. The performance of the belief that many people about Hamzah are a hype task created by calculated match.
Edgar Confident: “I won”
“I achieved all the victory. I just have to go in there on Saturday and act. I know we won. There are levels of this, ”Edgar Berlanga said Box newsand discussed his fight against Hamzah Sheeraz in Queens. “I’m already a veteran. He doesn’t hit me. He doesn’t stand a chance. I am a guy who is unpredictable in every fight. ‘
Berlanga should win this battle, because if he loses against Sheeraz, his career will be in a pitying condition. It would be his second defeat in his last three fights, and he would not get a free pace as he did after losing against Canelo in 2024. The Gordellosis Hamzah is not by the American fans. The followers who have Berlanga on the East Coast will abandon him in large numbers if he loses on Saturday, especially if it is by Knockout.
Sheeraz under pressure by Turki
“He’s trying to be wonderful, but not just that. I know Turki put the battery in his back to take this fight because of the Canelo fight. ‘ Listen, I’ll give you another opportunity. You have a ** linked to your last battle. You have lost. I took care of it and gave it a draw. Now you have to go through this fire here if you want the Canelo fight. “That was the wrong mistake.
Sheeraz was not about to fight Adames again after the way he was dominated. There was nothing in Hamzah’s performance in the struggle that gave him the credibility to improve enough to win a re -broadcast. Adames were for him on another level.
