BANGLA TIGER ROARS! Uddin Halts Roberts to Claim English Flyweight Crown

Walsall's Hamza Uddin Seizes English and WBA International Titles, Dedicates Historic Win to Sylheti Roots and Father – The British-Bangladeshi community is celebrating a monumental achievement this weekend, as boxing sensation Hamza 'Thriller' Uddin (now 6-0, 3 KOs) delivered a spectacular performance to capture the English and WBA International Flyweight Championships on Saturday night at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield, Daily Dazzling Dawn confirmed.

In a fight broadcast live on DAZN, the undefeated prospect from Walsall showcased his signature flair, speed, and devastating power, dismantling veteran Paul Roberts before forcing the TKO stoppage at 2:17 of the fifth round. Uddin floored Roberts a remarkable three times in the decisive round, leaving the referee no choice but to wave off the contest.

A Champion's Heritage: The Sylhet Connection-While Uddin was born and raised in Walsall, he has always fiercely embraced his heritage, tracing his roots back to the Sylhet Division of Bangladesh. His family's journey from Sylhet to the West Midlands has served as a central pillar of his inspiration. Uddin often speaks of his commitment to his local community and his ambition to represent the British-Bangladeshi diaspora on the world stage—a promise he is now fulfilling.

His boxing journey began at the age of six, inspired by his father's kickboxing career and his old training gloves. The family garage served as his first gym, with his father, mother, and siblings supporting his early training. Uddin consistently dedicates his success to his father, who instilled the discipline and drive that has propelled him from a decorated amateur—an 8-time National Champion and Team GB member—to a professional titleholder.

Post-Fight Statement: "The Sport's Next Superstar Has Arrived"-Speaking with adrenaline and pride following his victory, the 22-year-old made it clear this is merely the first step toward boxing immortality.

"My self-belief has always been there, I know how good I am and can be," Uddin stated passionately. "We [me and my team] know where we're gonna go, one-by-one, grab every title we can. I’ve got my eyes on everyone and everything. I want to do it for my father, all the local community, and everyone who has backed me since day one."

Uddin delivered a bold message to the boxing world, declaring, "Here is a message for British and world boxing: the sport's next superstar has arrived and it's Hamza Uddin."

His ultimate goal remains to become the first-ever British-Bangladeshi multi-weight World Champion, a dream that now looks closer than ever with two major titles secured.
