He's absolutely massive, so this might be a good thing if he feels like he was drained in his last fight.

Andy Lee is a hell of a trainer.

[PBR Streetgang]

Both are probably good moves. I like the selection of Lee. Andy was a lanky fellow who was a bit awkward in his boxing but he was effective and could really spark someone out. He should be able to maximize Hamzah's attributes.

It’s official……..
Janibek is no doubt whatsoever
THE MOST AVOIDED FIGHTER IN BOXING.
Not since the five year avoidance of GGG has anything come close to this.

Sheeraz is a non-champion moving up in weight having not won his first world title fight.

Not sure it's a case of avoidance, more like Janibek wouldn't even entertain it.

He is clearly avoided, but at the same time, he's not really helping his cause by chasing a fight with Canelo... that he'll never get, instead of chasing Adames and Lara to unify. It's Egis Klimas' job to guide him.

[anonymous2.0]

All these fighters are lining up hoping Canelo gives them a rose when instead they should be making the most marketable version of themselves. Unify with Adames and Lara in the fall and spring and it lines up perfectly with a unified 160 champ vs unified 168 champ on Mexican Independence in 2026.

Janibek was the one who didn’t sign the contract

Andy Lee is an excellent trainer for this kid, style-wise. Put a little Kronk in his brain and his body. He'll take to the Kronk style like a fish takes to water

[M312]

Apparently they are looking at Sheeraz v Berlanga in the next 5v5

A move to 168 could support this
