Middleweight Hamzah Sheeraz defeated Liam Williams in one round in an unstoppable performance in London.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Briton extended his unbeaten record to 19 fights, dropping Williams twice thanks to his blistering speed.<\/p>\n

Sheeraz, 24, delivered on a promise to make a statement by stopping Williams, a former world title challenger.<\/p>\n

“I had a lot of doubters going into this fight [who] thought I wasn’t able to keep up with this calibre of fighter,” Sheeraz said.<\/p>\n

“I do my talking in the ring. When I get in here, I entertain.”<\/p>\n

Williams had cut a confident figure all through fight week<\/a>, suggesting Sheeraz’s team had made a serious mistake in accepting the bout, but that bravado was quickly wiped out.<\/p>\n

Sheeraz’s stiff jab and power shots were too much for the Welshman, who went down just after the first minute and crashed to the floor again moments later from a brilliant counter uppercut.<\/p>\n

Promoter Frank Warren celebrated with Sheeraz at ringside as one of his brightest young stars produced a career-best performance against his most dangerous opponent to date.<\/p>\n

Warren suggested fellow Englishman Chris Eubank Jr as Sheeraz’s next opponent, heaping praise on his fighter.<\/p>\n

“He reminds me of Tommy Hearns in a big way with that jab. He takes you out with it. The power he has with it is unbelievable,” Warren said.<\/p>\n

“I genuinely believe a star is born and I genuinely believe he will win a world title and hold that title for as long as he likes.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
