Not heard of Hamza myself but that's some experience and something more Brits should be following in his footsteps and doing.On May 25th we'll see Naoya Inoue (15-0, 13) attempt to become a 3-weight world champion as he challenges WBA "regular" Bantamweight champion Jamie McDonnell (29-2-1-1, 13).
Ahead of the bout Inoue has been preparing for McDonnell by sparring with opponents who are physically similar to the English world champion. On Wednesday that included unbeaten British Featherweight - come Super Featherweight Raza Hamza (9-0-1, 5) who, at 5'10", matches the height of the champion.
The sparring session saw Inoue impress, as he always does, with his sharpness and even in sparring conditions with heavy gloves his power was clear, as he dropped Hamza with a nasty left hook to the body. To his credit Hamza hasn't been put off sparring with the "Monster" and stated on his twitter account that he "can’t wait to go again Thursday".
