Hamzah Sheeraz has appeared devastating in his latest fights. You need to look again to 2018 to search out the final time he was taken the space too.
However Tyler Denny refuses to be overawed, both by his opponent or the event when he fights Sheeraz on the Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois undercard at Wembley Stadium on September 21, stay on Sky Sports activities Field Workplace.
It’s Denny in any case who goes in because the reigning European middleweight champion and he’s coming off a run of spectacular upset wins himself.
“When I got the opportunity to fight him I couldn’t say yes quick enough. I was buzzing, this is my time now and I’m going to show everyone what I’m about,” Denny instructed Sky Sports activities.
“I need to present individuals why I am the champion and to point out why I need to transfer on to world stage.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity but I got it on merit, for beating the people that I’ve beat and I know that and that’s what gives me my confidence.”

He sparred Sheeraz simply in April and the 4 rounds they shared have performed nothing to dim that confidence of his.
“I don’t think Hamzah planned to fight me,” Denny stated. “He knows he’s going to be in for a hard fight.
“We each know what we will be in for.”
He sees holes in Sheeraz that can be exploited. He points to the Ilford middleweight being dropped by the little-known Francisco Emanuel Torres, as well as Sheeraz struggling to a contentious win over Bradley Skeete.
Even Sheeraz’s most recent win over Ammo Williams did not impress Denny: “If I needed to look at a video on how to not combat Hamzah, I might watch Ammo after 4 rounds onwards. As a result of he simply sat on the finish of his lengthy attain, by no means moved his head, by no means stepped to the aspect or something. [That’s] what to not do.”
Denny has had a tricky route by the skilled sport. He is suffered defeats, navigated his means by the small corridor scene (a previous which features a professional win within the Sheffield Enviornment automobile park), and he needed to bounce again from a controversial technical draw with River Wilson Bent.
However the cheerful former plumber gave up that job to focus solely on boxing – a call that in the end led him to his European championship combat and now this Wembley stadium occasion.

“I put that much pressure on myself to win because I hate losing. It’s not so much about the occasion,” he stated. “I hate losing, I’m the one who has to deal with that afterwards.
“I am refusing to let that occur once more.”
His choice to give up plumbing to pursue prizefighting full-time has been vindicated. “I’ve had sufficient bogs and bogs, that is sufficient for me,” he smiled.
“I do know the place I stand. I do know I wasn’t first choose for this combat. However I do not care both.
“Life, and especially in boxing, sometimes you don’t get a second chance. This is my chance now for the big time. And I’m ready.”
