Edgar Berlanga says he’s going “Do him dirty” and “In embarrassing” Hamzah Sheeraz on July 12 in their main liner in Queens, New York. Former Super Middleweight World title-out-of-Berlanga (23-1, 18 COs) abused the 6’4 ″ British fighter, Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 COs), today at their Kickoff press conference in New York.
Edgar pretended to shoot Shezaz first with a gun and put his hand right near his face. He switched to the machine that raised him when they were far apart and enjoyed messing with him. Sheeraz had a stoic look all the time and tried not to show emotion while being humiliated by Berlanga.
Will Berlanga embarrass him?
Berlanga-Hamzah meets in the 12-round main meeting on July 12 at the 14,053 seat Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York.
‘To get the Canelo fight and the Munguia fight, I have to knock out this guy. I must embarrass him. I have to do him dirty, ‘said Edgar Berlanga Fight Hub TVTalk about Hamzah Sheeraz. “He’s going to fight, but it’s another level. I will show him on July 12. I shot my gun on Eddie (Hearn). F *** Eddie, and F *** Sheeraz and also for you. ‘
When Turki Alalshikh spoke at the press conference today, he talked about big things for the winner of the Berlanga against Sheeraz battle. He mentions the name of Canelo Alvarez, which means Edgar can get his re -broadcast with Canelo if he conquered against Sheeraz. Even if Berlanga should fight next someone else, such as Jaime Munguia, he can still face Alvarez in 2026.
“I introduce myself to Turki. After this fight when I knock out this guy, I’m going to create a better relationship with (Turki) where we’re going to do much bigger things, ‘Berlanga says. “Don’t do it wrong. I talk my s ***, but I have it backup. You have guys who talk them, but when they get into the ring they are their pants. They just go for the cameras. If they are going to fight, they are not who they are. ‘
Berlanga needs an impressive knockout of Sheeraz to motivate Turki to use him for other important battles. Turki naturally loves Sheeraz, but Edgar can win him with a knockout knockout on July 12. Its popularity in the US will increase with a ko of Sheeraz, and he would be the most popular fighter at 168, next to Canelo.
Berlanga’s “dirty” strategy?
“This fight means a lot. If I beat this man, it’s over. It’s play time,” Berlanga said. “I am fighting in New York in the main meeting. 14,000 people. Either a knockout, or to beat the s *** out of him and hit him badly. To do him dirty and do bad. I want his kids to feel it. I want his mother to feel it. I want (his coach) Andy Lee to feel that way again. “
A knockout is what Berlanga needs to impress the crowd and fans on PPV. Beating sheeraz badly is not enough. He needs a knockout in this battle. It will be interesting to see if Berlanga can sell out the 14.053 seat Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York, for this fight. He probably won’t get much help from Shakur Stevenson, who is from nearby Newark, New Jersey.
“This guy wants to go in there and knock me out. You heard him. He wants to do a lot of things to me. My son is going to be there. Whose children are going to cry first? I want his children to cry first. Not mine, ‘says Berlanga.
Hamzah said he would stab Berlanga a few times and then clean him with a right hand on July 12. He also looked serious when he spoke. Sheeraz will try a ko, but if he doesn’t make it happen early, he will get ko himself.
