Mohammed Hamzah Sheeraz

Mohammed Hamzah Sheeraz is a British super-middleweight who rose through regional and international ranks to reach world title level. Born in Slough, Berkshire and commonly linked to London (with Ilford/Essex cited in some profiles), Sheeraz fights from an orthodox stance, stands 191 cm tall with a matching 191 cm reach, and made his professional debut in September 2017. His record stands at 24–0–1 with 19 stoppages. Sheeraz established himself early as a heavy-hitting prospect, opening his career with second-round TKO wins and compiling experience across four- and six-round contests before stepping up to 10-round fights. In November 2019 he claimed the vacant WBO European junior‑middleweight (super‑welter) title with a sixth-round TKO of Ryan Kelly and then defended that belt multiple times, scoring stoppage wins over Paul Kean (RTD), Guido Nicolás Pitto (TKO) and Ezequiel Gurria (TKO). A ninth-round TKO of Bradley Skeete in December 2021 continued a run of successful defences at super‑welter/middle distances. Sheeraz moved into the middleweight picture in 2022, taking the vacant WBC International Silver middleweight title with a second-round KO of Jez Smith and then capturing the vacant WBC Silver middleweight crown in July with a fifth-round TKO of Francisco Emanuel Torres. Later that year he added the vacant Commonwealth middleweight title by stopping River Wilson‑Bent while retaining the WBC Silver belt. He consolidated those status belts with further defences, including a second-round TKO of Dmytro Mytrofanov and high-profile stoppages of Liam Williams (TKO) and Austin “Ammo” Williams (TKO) while defending the WBC Silver title, and a TKO of Tyler Denny that also saw him involved on a card where a European middleweight title was won. At world level, Sheeraz challenged for the WBC world middleweight title in February 2025, fighting Carlos Adames to a 12-round split-decision draw. He kept his world ambitions on track by winning a WBC title eliminator in July 2025, stopping Edgar Berlanga in the fifth round. In 2026 Sheeraz moved up to super‑middleweight and captured the vacant WBO world title on May 23 with a second-round KO of Alem Begić at the Pyramids of Giza. He retained the WBO belt on July 25 with a 12-round majority decision over Simon Zachenhuber. The WBO later confirmed that Sheeraz relinquished or vacated that WBO super‑middleweight title on or about September 18, 2026, and he is not listed as the current WBO world champion as of September 23, 2026. Sheeraz’s career to date is defined by steady progression through regional and international belts, a high knockout rate, and experience in world-title level fights across middleweight and super‑middleweight divisions.
