On Saturday (June 1) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in a unique concept, promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren go head-to-head with teams of five fighters boxing against one another.

Hamzah Sheeraz is on a well-trodden path, and it is one he believes will lead him to the top. Promoted by Hall of Famer Frank Warren, Williams, an unbeaten middleweight prospect, can see the methodology behind his career trajectory, the one that is set to take him to the big show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday night.


Hamzah Sheeraz versus Austin “Ammo” Williams: Exactly the type of fight that should always happen as a matter of course in boxing but rarely does.

Beterbiev-Bivol might be off the schedule but the heavyweight collision between Wilder and Zhang is a must-see on the stacked 5 v 5 card.

Marcus Tomlinson believes that Queensberry team captain Hamzah Sheeraz will not only set the perfect example and get his team on the scoreboard with a win in the June 1st ‘5 v 5’ showdown with Matchroom, he also thinks that the unbeaten middleweight will rack up bonus points by knocking out Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams.

Austin “Ammo” Williams (16-0, 11 KOs) is back in camp preparing for his Queensberry-Matchroom “5vs5” matchup versus Hamzah Sheeraz (19-0, 15 KOs) for the WBC middleweight final eliminator on June 1, in Saudi Arabia.

British middleweight contender Hamzah Sheeraz has been handed the captain’s armband by promoter Frank Warren for the upcoming Queensberry-Matchroom “5 vs. 5” tournament playing as the undercard for Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on June 1. “I didn’t even know, he just chose me,” Sheeraz told BoxingScene regarding his captaincy. “Literally, just before we got on the stage before the conference, he said, ‘You are the captain.’ I didn’t understand what the captain is, and what the role was. I only found out afterwards. But it’s all good. It was chucked on me, but I’m not complaining. Here we are, making things happen. I suppose it is not a bad thing. I can only take it in my stride and do the best I can, truly and honestly.

Last week, Hamzah Sheeraz was revealed as Queensberry’s middleweight selection for the upcoming 5 vs. 5 battle with Matchroom. Sheeraz will fight Austin “Ammo” Williams in Saudi Arabia on June 1.

For years, the cold war between British boxing’s most eminent promoters, Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn, raged without any indication of a truce being agreed.
