Warren Discusses Who He Would Match Against Shiraz

Frank Warren, head of Queensberry Promotions, has stated he is ready to arrange a fight for Hamzah Shiraz (19-0, 15 KOs) against Janibek Alimkhanuly (15-0, 10 KOs) for the middleweight title.

"Hamzah will now be preparing for Ramadan, which gives us a chance to discuss his next step. He's been let off the leash. There are several good options, but some of them might not be liked. Personally, I would not hesitate to put Hamzah against Janibek Alimkhanuly, the Kazakh southpaw with two world title belts. Janibek says no one wants to fight him, so now we have someone for him, if he's ready," Warren wrote.

In his last fight, Shiraz knocked out former title challenger Liam Williams in the 1st round. He currently holds the WBC Silver title in the middleweight division.
