Denzel Bentley is coming off a first-round KO win against Kieran Smith. With this win, he rebounded from a loss against Janibek Alimkhanuly. He faced the latter in an attempt to capture the WBO middleweight title in November 2022 but failed.
On the other hand, Hamzah Sheeraz is still undefeated in his boxing career and has won all 17 of his matches. He is coming off a second-round TKO win against River Wilson-Bent where he won the vacant Commonwealth middleweight title.
This will be the biggest fight of his career for Hamzah Sheeraz and will be a big step up in competition. Will he be able to showcase his title credentials against a battle-hardened Bentley?
