Eddie Herne asks about the future of Hamza Shiraz if he comes out of Edgar Birlanga on July 12

Idi Herne says that he does not know where Hamza Shiraz can go if it comes out by the competitor to winning the medium weight, Edgar Birlanga next month in its title on July 12 at the Luis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York.

Shiraz: The appeal of the fans in the United Kingdom

Herne states that Shiraz (21-0-1, 17 Cos) will return to the British local scene if Birlanga (23-1, 18 Cos) lost. Berlanga-Sheeraz are two fighters in the Canelo Alvarez Sweepstakes for 2026.

Herne says the battle winner has an opportunity to combat the Mexican star next year. Shiraz Canilo has not yet fights, and it will be the best option if he could somehow pass with Edgar by winning.

Shiraz will attend UK fans, and will create a lot of attention in a clash against Alvarez. Berlanja had already had his chance against Canilo and her frustration by playing it safely and trying to survive. Boxing fans do not want to see the return match between them. Once in life it was enough.

“You reach 168. If you go out of 168, where do you go on the floor?” Eddie Herne said to Ring Magazine About what Hamza Shiraz is facing in his battle against Edgar Berlanja on July 12. “Consider a world title. I lost worldwide. You are a kind of return to the local scene.”

The recent Battle of Shiraz against Carlos Adeers has already shown that he is not world -class. It will remain higher than the local level in the UK, but not of the world -class. Hamza’s offers against Adames and Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams showed that it is a lower level than the highest level.

Canelo Alvarez Sweepstakes 2026

Herne said: “His happiness (Turki Al -Sheikh) is looking for youth in 2026 for the Canilo match, and Hamza Sherz is very marketable. It is a great story. It was a large part of the Riyadh season.” “This was a great moment for Hamza Shiraz. A new coach in Andy Lee, who, in my opinion, is one of the best coaches in the world. If they get this game plan correctly, they can overcome Edgar Birlanga. But it will be a very dangerous battle.”

For any of these two fighters to get a fight against Caneo in 2026, Berlanga has already lost in one side decision in 2024. Even if Hamza was victorious against Edgar on July 12, he would not deserve a fight against Alvarez.

Berlanga is more than a possibility at this stage of his career more than the real competitor. Look at the best victories for him and judge yourself:

Jason Kogeli
Padraig McCRORY
-Gonathan Gonzales-Auto: 36
– Roemer Alexis Angelo: 41
Steve Rolls: 40
– Marcelo Coceres: 34
– Demond Nicholson

Berlanga is more than a more than a real marketing project. It has been created by his promoters and is not really world -class. He scored 23-23 amateurs, identical to 16 tomato boxes at the beginning of his career through the first rank, in an attempt to turn him into the eastern coast star in the easy way. If Shiraz beats Birlanga, this does not mean anything. He then must start fighting the competitors for quality if he wants to have a fight against Caneo.

“When Edgar Berlanja truly believes himself and imagines the job, he is dangerous. I think in his head, he thinks he will look great against Hamza Shiraz, and takes it out.”

Shiraz’s first challenges in 168

Birlanga gets the battle against Shiraz in a timely manner, as it first appeared in 168. Shiraz’s last performance was severe against the WBC medium weight hero Carlos Edssal last February in his head, and was lucky to get clouds. Most boxing fans were winning.

There are better fighters than Sheeraz in 168, but whoever made the elections for this event gave Berlanga a lucky break. They could have put it with a good person, and he was heading for another loss.
