If Conan the Barbarian ever came to boxing it was surely tonight a short time ago in Queens New York via Hamzah Sheeraz of the UK.
Hamzah Sheeraz shook up the world of boxing and the entire planet itself with one of the victories of 2025 so far.
The song ‘Englishman in New York’ didn’t apply as before the fight Edgar Berlanga said he was the ‘King of New York’.
It was Hamzah Sheeraz showed he was in fact the real King of New York tonight.
The Barbaric Hamzah Sheeraz Combinations That Had Edgar Berlanga Out On His Feet
These barbaric, shotgun-like combinations absolutely blasted Berlanga out on his feet cold before he was flattened later and hit the deck:
One thing people are not saying enough of is just how incredibly tough, crazy tough really Berlanga was.
And how much heart Berlanga showed to get up from some of those.
Most fighters, rest assured, would not be able to get up from punches like that. No way.
It was superhuman for Berlanga to get up, something out of the Tyson Fury playbook against Deontay Wilder maybe.
Berlanga has the heart of a lion and will be back. He needs to work on defense.
Tonight was all about Hamzah Sheeraz — remember the name.
