Turki: Sheeraz “Earn” Canelo in 2026


Turki Alalshikh says Hamzah Sheeraz (22-0-1, 18 CO’s) deserves’ to fight Canelo Alvarez in 2026 after his fifth round of Edgar Berlanga in a WBC Super Middle Weight title Eliminator Saturday night in Queens, New York.

SHEERAZ: Canelo match in 2026

Turki did not say when Sheeraz will fight against the 168 pound Canelo’s undisputed champion in 2026. He also did not mention whether he would conquer in his September 13 match against Terence Crawford.

It would make no sense to make a fight between Canelo and Sheeraz if he is bellyless and has a loss of Crawford. Canelo has lost many of his physical tools in the last four rounds, and it is not a given that he has enough to beat Terence.

Sheeraz is a decent option for Canelo if he doesn’t want to give the fans the David Banavidez fight. Between Hamzah and the Chris Eubank Jr. Against Conor Benn Rematch winner, Hamzah is the better choice.

We saw how easily disposed of Berlanga on Saturday and knocked him out three times in a fifth round. Canelo has been forced to distance the 12-round distance to beat Edgar last September. In the final round, Berlanga landed very heavy bumps on Canelo. It doesn’t say much about Canelo that Sheeraz Berlanga sent so easily.

Unproven Sheeraz: Canelo Doubt?

Many US box fans prefer to see Turki who matched Christian Mbilli or David Banavidez against Canelo, rather than Sheeraz, considered unproven. It’s great that Hamzah beat Berlanga, but he never beat anyone well enough to be considered a talented super -middle weight.

A better battle for Sheeraz to test himself would be to fit him against Mbilli, and the winner of the fight could face Canelo. It would be winable to Sheeraz, as long as he could catch him with quick combinations as against Berlanga.
