The match was part of a packed weekend of boxing action. On Friday, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano completed their trilogy fight. Saturday's card saw victories for Shakur Stevenson and Subriel Matias, along with Sheeraz's knockout win.
Canelo Alvarez had previously beaten Berlanga by points decision, but many fans felt the win was underwhelming. Sheeraz's knockout victory over the same opponent has sparked talk of a potential matchup with Canelo.
When asked about the possibility of facing Canelo, Sheeraz showed respect for the Mexican champion while also expressing confidence in his own abilities.
"Canelo has always been a boxing hero of mine. Even for my name to be mentioned in the same sentence as his, that's a great achievement for myself. But listen, if I do get the opportunity to fight him, it won't be one of those where I try to nick it on points. I will stand in the middle with him and have it out. Whoever lands first, I suppose they'll get knocked out, won't they?"
Sheeraz has some physical advantages over Canelo. He stands 8 inches taller and has a significant reach advantage. These factors could make for an interesting matchup if the fight happens.
Many boxing fans don't rate Berlanga highly as a boxer. They point out that he didn't try to go toe-to-toe with Canelo in their fight. In contrast, Sheeraz's aggressive style and knockout power make him a more dangerous opponent.
Some fans doubt Canelo will take the risk of fighting Sheeraz. They note that Canelo has avoided facing David Benavidez, who is similar in size to Sheeraz.
While a fight between Sheeraz and Canelo is an exciting prospect, it's far from certain. The size difference and contrasting styles might make it less likely to happen. But in boxing, anything is possible, and fans will keep speculating about this potential matchup.
