Chamberlain boasts a record of 15-0 with 11 KOs. He solidified his reputation with a four-round defeat of Gavin Gwynne. His performance caught the eye of Turki Alalshikh, leading to prominent billing in major events in Saudi Arabia.

On May 18th, Chamberlain will face Joshua Oluwaseun Wahab in Saudi Arabia on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk. Wahab holds a record of 23-1 with 16 KOs. Despite the high stakes, Chamberlain remains undisturbed by pressure.

His recent fights drew hundreds of media representatives and surprised many with his ability to handle pressure and stay composed under the global spotlight. After defeating Gwynne, he reacted modestly, avoiding flashy celebrations. "Everything went to plan. I couldn’t have wanted it to go any better really."

Chamberlain shared his philosophy ahead of upcoming fights: "I try not to let pressure or anything get the better of me... I try to not let any of that get to me and just stay cool, calm and collected."

According to Chamberlain post-Gwynne fight: "Not much has changed since [the fight]." He emphasizes a focus on staying grounded despite rising fame: "Maybe things have changed but I haven’t really taken it into consideration... I just have to keep winning. They haven’t actually said it but there’s no reason at all why I can’t carry on getting on [these shows] if I just keep on doing what I’m doing.”
