Hamzah Sheeraz impressed on Saturday night.

Unbeaten British middleweight Hamzah Sheeraz has named two possible opponents for his next fight. 

Sheeraz produced a dominant display against the experienced Liam Williams on Saturday night with a first-round stoppage after knocking down the Welshman twice during their brief contest. 

The 24-year-old is hoping his next fight can be on June 1 on the undercard of the undisputed light heavyweight clash between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, and named one possible opponent he would like to face. 

“Hopefully I can get out on that Saudi [Arabia] card – straight on that undercard,” Sheeraz told ProBox TV.

“That lines me up for June. ‘Ammo’ [Austin] Williams is being linked and it’d be a big fight, I think."

If a fight with Williams cannot be made, Sheeraz also revealed that he would be interested in trying to win the British middleweight title which is currently held by Nathan Heaney. 

"The Nathan Heaney fight is a very realistic fight as well. That’s a fight I’d love to have.

"Doors will be open [after the victory over Williams]. It’d be an honour [to fight him in Stoke]. I know it’d be a very hostile environment but I know it’d add that fuel to my fire. I’m looking forward to getting back in there again.”
