Briton Sheeraz stops Begic to claim world title

[ASFN Admin]

Briton Hamzah Sheeraz claimed his first world title with a second-round stoppage win against Alem Begic to claim the vacant WBO super-middleweight crown in Egypt.

The Londoner, 26, imposed himself from the opening bell against the overmatched German, breaking him down with sharp straight jabs and uppercuts.

Begic was out of his depth and had no answer to Sheeraz's accuracy, with a left hook to the body eventually sending him down.

The 39-year-old failed to beat the count as the referee waved the fight off.
