Hamzah Sheeraz KO3 Alem Bagic... In the final supporting bout before the main event, Hamzah Sheeraz defeated Alem Bagic by third-round knockout to win the vacant WBO super middleweight title. The title was vacated by undisputed world champion Terence Crawford who retired after dethroning Saul "Canelo" Alvarez last year. In round three, a hook hurt Bagic, and Sheeraz went from there with one heavy shot after another. One more blow to the body sent Bagic crumbling, and he couldn't get up. There is already talk that in 2027, Sheeraz (23-0-1) could be in line for a shot at boxing legend Saul "Canelo" Alvarez should Canelo get past Christian Mbili in September. Begic, from Germany, falls to 29-1-1, and at age 39, he will probably not get back to the world-title level.
