The finish was decisive, but Berlanga says he saw the fight very differently.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview with The Danza Project, Edgar Berlanga insisted that Sheeraz was not a difficult opponent and said a rematch would produce another outcome.\u201cThat guy is easy work. I promise you, on God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Berlanga then said he wants the fight revisited under better conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we run it back, we running it back the right way. We going to make sure none of that sh*t is going down like that,\u201d said Edgar.<\/p>\n<p>He also claimed that Sheeraz knew he was losing before the momentum changed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe know he can\u2019t fck with me. I was winning that fight. That\u2019s the type of sht people gotta do to beat a ni**a like me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hamzah Sheeraz earned one of the biggest wins of his career that night and moved forward in the super middleweight picture, while Berlanga has continued to call for another meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Berlanga also recently signed with Zuffa Boxing, which has made no secret of wanting marketable names as it builds its roster. Whether that means steering him through selected in-house fights or matching him quickly with the strongest names at 168 remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Confidence has never been Berlanga\u2019s issue. The tougher part is turning it into wins against top opposition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sheeraz stopped Berlanga in the fifth round of their July 2025 bout after scoring two knockdowns in round&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":550124,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-550123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=550123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/550124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=550123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=550123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=550123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
