Hamzah Sheeraz has opened the door to a possible clash with Terence Crawford.
Both Crawford and Sheeraz have picked up big wins over the last three months in America.
Sheeraz was last in action in June where he headlined in New York against the tough Edgar Berlanga.
Berlanga has faced Canelo Alvarez and was completely outclassed by Sheeraz, dropped three times and stopped in the fifth round.
Sheeraz was eyeing an undisputed clash with Canelo until he lost on points to Crawford, who became the sport’s first three-weight undisputed world champion.
With the Canelo fight unlikely to be next, Sheeraz spoke to The Ring about his next opponent.
“I’ll fight whoever, I’ll fight whoever they want at 168lbs.

“I got a call the other day, a name was mentioned, we said yes then that name is now fighting someone else.
“I don’t know what is happening in terms of who’s next but I’ll just put my head down
“Whatever name they put forward I’m gonna sign, wether that be Mbilli, Pacheco I don’t know whatever names are put there I’ll sign it no problem.
“It would be an honour to share the ring with those guys, I’ll go in there with every intention to completely destroy them but at the same time these names are great fighters in America.”
With many names being discussed Sheeraz spoke on a clash with the undisputed champion of the super middleweight division.
“I’m assuming Crawford is going to vacate and if the belts become vacant I’ll fight anyone for them belts.
“If he doesn’t vacate maybe get the opportunity to fight him or earn the opportunity to fight him, I’m mandatory with the WBC and I’ve got a good position with the WBO so yeah.”
Crawford’s future at super middleweight remains unknown, his clash with Canelo was the first time he has fought at such a high weight.
Eddie Hearn has called for ‘Bud’ to meet Jaron Ennis at some point in the future, labelling it the biggest fight in the states.
Another name gunning for Crawford is unified middleweight champion, Janibek Alimkhanuly, who recently took to social media to call for an undisputed meeting between the pair.
“What do you guys think about this?
By next May, I’ll have all four belts. And if by then Crawford is still holding all four in his division, we’ll have a clash of two undisputed champions in the fall of 2026!”
