00:30Amza, congratulations, by far the biggest victory of your career, first fight at 168, how did that feel?
00:38First of all, massive thank you to the mate, Allahu Akbar, thank you very much.
00:44Secondly, while we're here, I'd like to thank his Excellency, Turkey, I'll shake.
00:49Listen, after my last performance, before this, no promoter would have given me the opportunity.
00:54His Excellency gave me the opportunity to bounce right back.
00:57I spoke to him Monday, he said, put on a great performance for me, and I'll stop tomorrow.
01:02Thank you, Excellency, I appreciate you.
01:04Turkey, I'll shake also has talked to you about fighting the biggest star in all of boxing, Canelo Alvarez, next year.
01:10Canelo obviously has a super fight against Terence Crawford first, the winner will lose two more fights at least with Turkey, I'll shake in the Riyadh season.
01:17How big would that be for you?
01:19Listen, Canelo's always been a boxing hero of mine, so even for my name to be mentioned in the same sentence as his, that's a great achievement myself.
01:26But listen, if I do get the opportunity to fight him, it won't be one of those where I try to nick it on points.
01:32I will stand in the middle of him and have it out.
01:35Listen, and whoever lands first, I suppose they get knocked out, don't they?
01:38It was a great promotion, he did a promotion, Edgar Berlindo talked a lot of trash.
01:42You took it, and now you knocked him out for the first time in his career.
01:46He went the distance with Canelo, and we're going to take a look at the knockout right here.
01:50There was a tremendous shot, two knockdowns, and then you finished him off in the following rounds.
01:55Tell us how it happened.
01:57Just a massive thank you to Andy Lee, where we're here, somewhere here.
02:00A man who put his faith and his trust in me, and even in the first few rounds, I was losing them, but we had a plan.
02:07I told him in his ear, I can hunt this guy down.
02:10I told him, and he believed me.
02:11And not many coaches do that, so Andy, thank you very much.
02:14Yeah, this was your first fight with Andy Lee, a hell of a punch for himself at 160 pounds.
02:19Andy, what did Hamza show you in his first training camp in Dublin?
02:22This, big heart, very strong here, very strong here in the hand, left hand.
02:29But only just scratching the surface.
02:31There's so much potential there for this guy.
02:34It's scary how far he can go.
02:36Listen, take notice, new star in world boxing, Hamza Shiraz.
02:40And I'd also like to say a massive thank you to Edgar Berlanga for giving me the opportunity to fight in his back home.
02:47Like I said, a massive thank you to the Mexicans, to the Puerto Ricans, to the Dominicans, to the Pakistani,
02:53and the great British public at home who have been supporting me from day one.
02:56I appreciate you guys.
02:59Yeah, Edgar Berlanga showed a lot of heart.
03:00I couldn't believe he got up after that second knockdown.
03:03He won face first.
03:05Were you surprised he got up?
03:06Yeah, I was, to be fair, but I knew that he'd get up because he's done it before.
03:09But listen, I promise you, I swear to you, whoever was in the ring with you today, there was no stopping me.
03:15After my last fight, the amount of abuse I got on social media, in person, I understand it's part of boxing, but it made me a hungrier fighter.
03:23Yeah, that last fight against Carlos Adamas, that was your first title shot at 160 pounds.
03:28It was a draw.
03:28Many felt you lost.
03:30And like you said, you received a lot of criticism.
03:32How good does this feel now to vindicate yourself?
03:34That's why I got on my knees and got to tears, and I thank God, because I promise you, when I say there was nothing stopping me, there was nothing stopping me.
03:42My first fight here in New York, I appreciate all you guys.
03:44Thank you, New York.
03:46Hamza Shiraz, congratulations.
03:48All the ingredients to be a big star, well done.
03:50Thank you very much.
03:51I appreciate you.
03:53I'd also like to say, sorry, a massive thank you also to Frank Warren.
03:57Listen, he's a man who's believed in me since day one, and he's always been giving me the opportunity.
