Hamza ‘Thriller’ Uddin, the UK’s latest boxing gem, has just inked a deal with Matchroom. This flyweight dynamo is already dreaming big about snagging a World Champion title.
This chap, an ex-Team GB slugger, has an amateur track record that’s more decorated than a Christmas tree: eight national crowns, seven international golds, and a trio of GB belts.
At 20, trained by Raj Uddin and managed by Sam Jones, he’s not just the youngest ever to snatch the senior elite champion title twice, but he’s also unbeaten. After ruling the amateur roost, pros have been queuing up to get Uddin’s John Hancock.
He’s set to make a splash in 2024 on DAZN, and let’s just say, confidence isn’t something Uddin’s short of. He’s aiming to be more than a champ; he wants to be a bona fide legend.
Uddin’s raring to use his hefty experience to scoop up more titles in the pro league. He’s all about Matchroom, claiming they’re the only ones who can match his ambitions.
This Walsall lad has a trophy case that would make most green with envy: eight national titles, three GB ones, and seven international golds. He’s a proud product of Team GB with a background from Bangladesh. Uddin’s not just looking to be the first pro fighter of Bangladeshi origin to make waves; he’s eyeing to be the first British-Bangladeshi World Champion.
But wait, he’s not stopping there. Uddin’s dream? To be a World Champion, sure, but also a unified, undisputed, and multi-weight world champion. He’s not here to play; he wants to be a legend.
Eddie Hearn, the big boss at Matchroom Sport, can barely contain his excitement about signing Uddin. Hearn’s betting big on Uddin, ready to introduce this whirlwind talent to the world in 2024.
Hearn’s take: Hamza Uddin is a force to be reckoned with. His amateur record is off the charts. He’s a Midland’s hero with a style that’s sure to make him a fan favorite. Hearn’s stoked to have Uddin join the Matchroom family, and he’s expecting Uddin to shake things up big time.
