Middleweight contender Hamzah Sheeraz believes a big carrot is dangling over his head when it comes to winning the biggest fight of his career on Saturday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Sheeraz, 25-years-old, will collide with WBC middleweight champion Carlos Adames as part of the undercard to the light heavyweight rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol - the headliner of a major Riyadh Season card.

"I've done everything I've needed to do, when people ask how camp has been you could say I've been in camp since I was an eight-year-old kid. It all kind of comes down to this moment on Saturday," Sheeraz told Sky Sports. "Part one of Hamzah Sheeraz's story closes, and part two begins."

Recently, Mexican superstar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez signed a massive four fight agreement with Riyadh Season.

Sheeraz, due to his size, expects to move up to the super middleweight division by next year.

Canelo is already scheduled to face William Scull in an undisputed fight on May 3 in Riyadh, and then heads to a September mega-fight with Terence Crawford in Las Vegas.

Two more dates need opponents, with Canelo tabbed for two Riyadh fights in 2026.

And Sheeraz would love to be the man in the opposite corner.

"Why not? He's one of my boxing heroes, and I think if you don't aim to fight the best you're in the wrong game," Sheeraz added.

"Especially now when fights can happen just like that with His Excellency, so hopefully come Saturday night I get it done and then it's a big possibility."
