The famous promoter Eddie Hearn is optimistic that Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams will cause a surprise by winning via knockout against unbeaten middleweight champion Hamzah Sheeraz (19-0, 15 KOs) in their upcoming match at the ‘5 vs. 5’ event, set to be broadcast live on DAZN PPV from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The event is available for $69.99 on PPV.
Hearn mentioned that Sheeraz is already being lined up for a fight at Wembley by Queensberry, indicating their strong faith in him. However, Hearn believes that the underdog Ammo Williams (16-0, 11 KOs) will overturn their expectations on Saturday night.
At the weigh-in, the noticeable height difference was in Sheeraz’s favor, with him towering at 6’3” compared to Williams’ stature as a middleweight fighter. Sheeraz, at 25 years old, might consider moving up to the super middleweight division for future bouts.
Hearn anticipates that Williams will secure a victory by knockout in the later rounds, highlighting his underestimated toughness, quick reflexes, and punching strength. Williams must be vigilant of Sheeraz’s initial power shots, as Sheeraz tends to fade as the fight advances.
If Williams emerges victorious, it would mark a significant achievement and potentially end Sheeraz’s undefeated run. Hearn expresses his confidence in Williams’ capabilities and believes he is poised for success.
Overall, Hearn is optimistic about Williams’ prospects and believes he has what it takes to triumph in the highly-anticipated match on Saturday night.
