Rising middleweight Hamzah Sheeraz says Chris Eubank Jr must take notice of him now.<\/p>\n

Ilford’s Sheeraz demolished Liam Williams in just one round on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Williams went the full 12-round distance with Eubank Jr in 2022 and Sheeraz declared that his performance has sent “a big message” to the Brighton star.<\/p>\n

“I’ve done something he couldn’t do and now just give me the opportunity to step in the ring with him. It would be an honour but I believe I’d beat him and beat him in devastating fashion as well,” Sheeraz told Sky Sports<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I don’t mean that with any disrespect.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully now he doesn’t keep turning a blind eye to me. Hopefully we can get in the ring with him.<\/p>\n

“He’s the only name above me, aside from maybe Liam Smith as well, who’s the biggest 160lb name in the UK. Why not target the best?”<\/p>\n

A left-handed orthodox fighter, Sheeraz did stunning damage to Williams with just his lead hand.<\/p>\n

He was similarly effective in his previous fight when he halted Dmytro Mytrofanov, a Ukrainian amateur standout, on the undercard of the Oleksandr Usyk-Daniel Dubois stadium fight in Poland last year.<\/p>\n

“That was a real turning point in my career,” Sheeraz said of his performance against Mytrofanov. “He’s known in Los Angeles [where Sheeraz trains] as well because he’d done a camp out there with [Vasiliy] Lomachenko.<\/p>\n

“I thought: ‘To be a great in boxing you can’t have it your way all the time.’ I said so be it, let’s go for it, let’s do it. I didn’t know it would be in Poland on his promotion as well.<\/p>\n

“I said I’m just going to cherish the moment, turn up and win. And that’s exactly what I done.<\/p>\n

“He’s one of those fighters boxing purists understand and they know what he’s capable of. They know what he did in the amateurs.<\/p>\n

“Beating someone like that you get a lot of credit for as well.”<\/p>\n

If Sheeraz needs to plot a course to the top of the middleweight division he would welcome title fights with British champion Nathan Heaney or European champion Tyler Denny.<\/p>\n

“My career’s been very, very straightforward,” Sheeraz declared. “Whenever they’ve put a fight to me I’ve always said yes. It’s been as simple as that since day one.<\/p>\n

“[Heaney] I think would be brilliant in summer in Stoke,” he continued. “He’s known for taking good fights like he did against Denzel Bentley. I don’t think he’d be shying away from that and I think it’s fight that makes sense.<\/p>\n

“[Denny] would be a great fight as well,” Sheeraz added. “There’s so many different avenues I could go down. It would be great to share the ring with him as well. Ultimately I just want to prove I’m the best 160lber in the division.<\/p>\n

“I genuinely want to prove it. So whatever way that has to be done no matter what way by hook or by crook I’ll make sure that happens.”<\/p>\n
