Hamza Uddin (born 16 July 2003) is an English professional boxer. He has held the English and WBA International flyweight titles since October 2025. As an amateur he was the youngest person to win two England Boxing National Elite Championships.
Early life and amateur career
Brought up in Walsall and of a Bangladeshi heritage, Uddin's father Siraj was a boxer and was his inspiration for taking up the sport with his first bout coming at the age of 10.[3]
He went on to win eight national amateur titles and was a member of Team GB.[4] Uddin won the flyweight division at the England Boxing National Elite Championships in 2022[5][6] and 2023.[7][8] Aged 19 when he won his second championship, he became the youngest two-time champion at the event.[7]
Professional career
Uddin turned professional in December 2023, signing a promotional contract with Eddie Hearn led Matchroom Boxing.[4] He made his pro-debut at the Exhibition Centre in Liverpool on 27 April 2024, stopping Santiago San Eusebio in the third of their scheduled six-round contest.[9]
Unbeaten in his first five paid fights, Uddin claimed the vacant English and WBA International flyweight titles with a fifth round stoppage win over Paul Roberts at Sheffield Arena on 11 October 2025. He knocked his opponent to the canvas three times before Roberts' corner threw in the towel to end the bout.[10][11]
