Berlanga, with a record of 23 wins and 1 loss, including 18 knockouts, will step into the ring looking to bounce back from his recent defeat against Canelo Alvarez. On the other side, Sheeraz brings an undefeated record of 21 wins and 1 draw, with 16 knockouts to his name. This fight marks Sheeraz's first big exposure to the U.S. market.
While no major title is on the line, both fighters have a lot to prove. Berlanga wants to show he's still a force in the 168-pound division, while Sheeraz aims to make a strong impression in his American debut.
Berlanga shared his thoughts on the upcoming bout:
"For this fight, I'm actually the B-side, because Sheeraz is the nice guy and everyone wants him to win."
Sheeraz, on the other hand, expressed confidence in his abilities:
"He a serious fighter. I respect what he brings to the ring and I know it will be a good fight. It's one of my toughest fights, but not better than other opponents I've faced before. The plan is to throw a few jabs, then hit him with a right hand on the chin, and good night."
The 12-round contest will be broadcast live on DAZN. Fans can catch the action on various devices, including mobile phones, tablets, computers, and smart TVs. DAZN offers both monthly and annual subscription options for those interested in tuning in.
