boxing King media powered by byd and

brought to you by the Riad season Hamza

sheir as we at here in Manchester you're

on your way to Old Trafford I didn't

know you was a football fan yeah man I'm

a football fan I'm a I'm actually an

Arsenal fan but we're here flying to

Dubai tonight um so I thought what what

better to do than to go watch the Man

United Tottenham game in the box so yeah

man it should be a good little

experience I always ask you know how's

um you know when I speak to you after a

fight how have the days been since the

fight what kind of stuff you beat got up

to and you must have had more new

friends more new family members and all

that kind of stuff do you know what it

is you say that but I keep my my circle

very tight and very um very concentrated

as well um but it's been all right man

it's just like it's done now and now

onto the next um done what I had to do

done what I had to do I know before the

fight everyone was I'm in an our ring it

could cause an upset this that the other

but it's nothing I haven't heard before

and I I said before the fight I was 100%

confident in my ability to do what I

done and I set out to do exactly that

and I done it you did you know like R

talking about boxing I just talked you

about a couple of different things you

know just for people to get to know a

different side to you I was thinking

about you like you're quite um you come

across as like a person who's quite

Suave that's you know I mean you kind of

you try and be you're always in the same

Lane but how do we kind of crack that

shell there's like I feel like there's

an eggshell around you how do somebody

crack that I have no clue bro I have no

clue um I suppose you know what is is

said out it's a perspective is it it's

like what you said I put on the image

that I'm swaave and I wear suits and

watches you name it this at the other

but at the end of the day bro I'm just

your your local lad from East London do

you know what I mean your local lad from

East I'm the same as everyone else like

I will never ever ever ever think I'm

bigger than other than anyone else or I

never look down anyone because listen

I've come from nothing and I know

exactly what it's like to be there so if

you strip everything away strip the

title professional boxer strip uh the

title strip everything I'm just bro I'm

just I promise I'm just a

normal South Asian Pakistani kid from

East London bro you are see I feel like

I slightly corra you there you know one

of the other things I was thinking was

like are you 24 now 25 25 years so

you're at that age you're a young man

and um you don't have to be shy talking

about it but you're going to have like

Ladi SW sliding into your DMs I've had

people that I know friends are friend is

he single is he married you're going to

be getting a lot of that

people might want to know what is the

situation with you is that something you

considering right now uh not anytime

soon not anytime soon um I know you

heard the old cliche I'm concentrating

on my boxing but in all honesty I am

because I feel like before I even

consider getting married and having a

spouse and having a family I need to

look after my own first my people who

have looked after me and be in the

correct like financial position to do so

as well and I'm thinking with this and

nothing else for now

and obviously you're a young man and um

anybody will find it normal how do you

deal with kind of staying away from that

kind of stuff um I

think staying busy is is one of them

staying connected to God um not just

praying but knowing what you're praying

as well there's a massive difference

like you will ask people nowadays oh how

do you stay in touch with oh I pray I

pray five times a day you ask them what

do you pray they have no clue what

they're praying bro so knowing what

you're praying is is a massive lot of to

do that recently and it's some big like

the whole perception of prayer and what

you're praying you have a deeper

connection uh that's one of them yeah

staying busy um always having a goal

always having a Target in mind because

if you set yourself a little short

obviously you have long-term targets

winning world titles winning um multiple

weights etc etc but prior to that you

need short-term goals and once you start

hitting them short-term goal you get

that that feeling of like a sense of

achievement and the more regular you get

that before you know it you've achieved

your first long-term goal and that kind

of keeps you focused and keeps you

saying to to to not worry about anything

else or get distracted by anything else

when that time does come I promise is

the last question on your relationship

status what what does Hamza sheir

because you must be thinking about this

because you'd be crazy if you're not

when the time comes what does Hamza

shir's look for in The Perfect part life

partner um I think it all comes down to

someone who's honest righteous Pious

um that's kind of the generic answer

you'd get but you know what it's not

it's I've never really actually sat down

and thought about it but like in in an

Ideal World what I just

said and also don't he show your

emotions very much you always kind of

straight line got beit of a Mad question

for you when's the last time you

cried uh I watched a movie in Camp about

a dog for real it was myself my phys my

chef um and was on the sell and I told

him before I go yo it's an emotional

film about a dog anything about animals

bro it gets me it gets me um but yeah

I'm not really an emot emotional person

um I don't know why that is for whatever

reason but when it comes to animals but

that's my soft spot no way he actually

cried yeah bro I was like I watched the

movie twice the first time I watched it

I was on the plane to Dubai and I was

like oh here we go it's going to happen

it's going to happen and I was like

balling my eyes out and then the a St

has come up she goes are you all right

and I was like well just leave me alone

man but no was it's um it's normal it

that's mad I wasn't expect you to say

that but um you know uh also the other

fact obviously you're on a really good

run at the minute you're winning your

fights you're doing everything right but

you will have seen it with other big

superstars in the guy that you look up

to Anthony Joshua you've seen how he was

a big favorite in the dubar fight he got

obviously got stopped and you've seen

how public perceptions changed on him

like you know people are NY he needs to

retire all that kind of stuff talks come

out again

um are you scared of that kind of thing

ever happening to is that always back in

your mind uh it's kind of happened

already you know when with the B SK

fight it kind of all that's happened but

then I suppose what you got to

understand is it's the game it's we're

in it we chose I chose to be in this

sport

so with all the success comes these

things um and you just got to learn to

deal with it and I know it's easier said

than done like 100% it's easier said

then done um but at the end of the day

if you look at someone like the likes of

Joshua people only remember him now for

his bad times but they have they're

forgetting the time when he ped out

90,000 when he won the world titles

against Klitschko so it's tip forat

really and like I said it's part it is

the game and you just got to remember

what you're in do what you got to do

help as many people as I can help use my

platform to do so and then get outed and

obviously you're in that position now

mainly because of Riad season you know

take shakes coming to boxing and you've

become one of his favorites and when you

watch the turkey ring side you'll see

that there's certain Fighters that are

fighting and seem jumping up and down

and some Fighters he doesn't react at

all you're the guy when he whenever you

get a knockout or something's happening

he's like bouncing around like he's your

number one fan yeah no no listen he's

made me an ambassador for a reason and

I've said it hundred times the way only

way I can repay him is and do that

Justice is by getting these wins being a

role model for the youngsters out there

and just um doing my up utmost and

absolute best inside the ring and

outside of the ring as well but yeah

listen he changed the Dynamics of the

game man you you ask every boxer to say

the same thing but he honestly has

and not just for the successful boxers

who want to go for World titles like an

example would be my opponent Tyler Denny

like he got life changing money for that

fight against me um and so he should he

deserved it and now going into his his

however many fights he's going to have

or whatever he can he'd be comfortable

bro so yeah just um a massive well done

to him and a huge thank you to his

Excellency turkey for

allowing both ends of the spectrum to to

to get a bit of the pie You Must Have

Spent A bit of time with turkey behind

the scenes off camera in his hotel rooms

Etc tell tell share something about him

as a person and as a character uh cuz I

always hear good things so I don't if

you can share something person yeah no

advice as well um always tell me list

just concentrate worry about your boxing

worry about your boxing worry about your

boxing and if it's coming from someone

like himy M I'd be a fool to do

otherwise um so yeah like I said I'm

just doing what I got to do doing what I

got to do and hopefully one day in I'll

become become a a big name yeah and I

understand you've just signed an

extended your contract with Frank Warren

um obviously big decision cuz I'm

guessing that that point position you're

in every single promoe of the country is

going to be gunning for you so so did

you speak to other promoters as well or

was Franco your number one choice was

the one Frank was the one um a huge

thank you to my advisers Adel and uh

Spencer Brown listen they just made it

easy for me to told me listen you worry

about camp and leave the rest to us

obviously they got my advice on what I

wanted to do and who I wanted to go with

and in the end the final decision was

with with Frank waren the man who gave

me the opportunity like I said when when

no one did when no one did so um it was

um you could make it up damn look he's

ringing now Spence is ringing him now as

soon as I mentioned his name Spence It's

a small world because I'm just speaking

to hamir and we was actually just just

talking about you you're on just to let

privilege to to sign in I mean if if you

expecting a call but thank you very much

for that perfect timeing you'll see it

back on the interview that we was just

talking about your rank oh there you go

you all right all good Spence all good

Spence I'll catch up with you in a bit

thank you Spence thank

you I wasn't expecting that I told it's

meant to be bro meant to be but listen

words like that from someone who's in

the game and he's not he's not he's not

has been he's there now he's at the top

now you know what I mean so um yeah just

just honored man honored to be a part

part of his team honored to be advised

by him and Ado and yeah man um we're

going to get to the top inshah quick

word of advice I know you mentioned Adil

there I know I know Fighters talk about

this a lot when you get to the top you

need to have the right people around you

to kind of manage your finances your

decision making how key is it to pick

the right people you can trust and

obviously you're chosen Adil massively

bro listen I've been stung a few times

like very badly as well um and like I

said it's part of the game but then very

very rarely you you get these

these certain individuals that come

along that are like guardian angels and

Adil is one of them guys

um how successful he is in his in his

business what he's done speaks for

itself and he can't come to me and

possibly gain anything from me so we

built a relationship up like 3 years

it's been now and it was just like as

friends and then I said he come on board

and he said listen I can I can help you

and then I asked him like why do you

want to help and he goes he gets to a

point in in your life where seeing other

people's success is greater than your

own and that's where he is now you I

mean and I'm that lucky individual who I

get I get along with him very well and

like I said we're on the we're on the

right journey and like I said there's

there's

um a lot of um a lot of goals to achieve

and in we'll do so you don't have to

answer this and uh this is why boxing

King media I feel like we stand out I'm

going to ask you you said you've been

stung you don't have to answer the

question but I've got to ask you when

you say you've been strong is there

anything you can elaborate on uh I can't

really elaborate too much but one bit of

advice I'd give out to the younger

fighters out there who are coming up and

who are at a stage where they know

they've got the potential to be

something is you're going to get a lot

of people come to you and offer you

contracts and investors not so much

sponsorship but investors um and if you

hear the word investors run don't sign

that contract run that's that' be my

advice to you to them to them young Firs

coming through hopefully people can take

that un you going to Pakistan soon as

well when's the last time you went and

what's what's the plans when you go

there never been bro never been never

been so this is my first time R in

Pakistan are you from uh Bindy sides bro

yeah well Bindy sides um but I've never

been I've been wanting to go now the

time's right to go um the support base

out there is is great uh and we're

trying to expand on that and sit down

with the government over there as well

and see what we can do bro what's the

lingo like have you practiced the lingo

well I think anyone watching this

interview is enough to understand that I

can't really speak it you would have

heard me speak on all these Pakistani

channels and whatnot um but yeah listen

English is all right and it it does a

job it does um he was at a concert

yesterday um I forgot his name was his

you can any of these Tunes can you no no

I can I understand it I understand it

all of you can chat to me and I'll speak

to you back in English but yeah what a

great great um concert man it's the

second one I've been to of his huge fan

of him huge fan of how he conducts

himself how he carries himself um and

he's a bit different at concerts as well

man like he's he's he's an advocate for

the younger generation as well he always

gives the youngsters an opportunity and

whatnot so someone who I could

definitely potentially learn off in the

future and hopefully meet him one day as
