Pakistani-origin British boxer Hamzah Sheeraz claimed the Middleweight European Boxing Championship after defeating British fighter Tyler Denny in a commanding performance at Wembley Stadium on Saturday evening.
Sheeraz dominated the bout, knocking Denny down twice before the match was stopped by referee Mark Bates, resulting in a technical knockout.
The first knockdown came early in the opening round when Sheeraz landed a right cross followed by a left hook. In the second round, a powerful left hook floored Denny once again. Although Denny managed to get back on his feet, the referee called an end to the contest.
