Turki Alralikh’s “Belt” confusion: Berlanga vs. Sheeraz on July 12: Is there a really title at stake?

Turki Alralikh says the headline of Edgar Berlanga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz Super Middleweight “could change -everything”, and one of them will come out “with the belt” on July 12. The fans are confused, asking for what title Berlanga (23-1.18 kos) and Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 kos) fight in their 12-round competition at the Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. Turki said this week that Sheeraz or Chris Eubank Jr. They will fight against Canelo Alvarez next February.

Berlanga vs. Sheeraz Belt doubt

Officially, Berlanga-Sheeraz is a WBC 168-pound world title eliminator to determine a mandatory for Canelo Alvarez camp. So, unless a lesser known belt is at stake next month, this is just a title eliminator. There are already many boxing fans who believe that Berlanga and Hamzah do not deserve to have the opportunity to win a world title.

The £ 168 division has been weakened by the departures of David Benavidez and David Morrell when they moved to 175 in 2024.However, there are other fighters who deserve to be positioned for a worldwide feature without using reproaches, Berlanga and Sheraz.

Berlanga, 27, lost to Canelo last year by a unanimous decision of 12 rounds in September, and only fought once since then, surpassing a 35-year-old Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz, last March. It was not a good enough victory for Edgar to position himself to another crack in Canelo.

Sheeraz reaches a 12 -round tie highly criticized against WBC’s middle weight champion Carlos Adames last February. He went out work and went out in this fight for the Adames Champions. Many people were shocked when the judges marked him as a draw because the Adames seemed to have won 11-1 in a unilateral contest.
