Tyler Denny is scheduled to defend his EBU European middleweight title this Saturday. He faces undefeated knockout artist Hamzah Sheeraz on a high-profile Matchroom Boxing card headlined by the great Anthony Joshua, who takes on fellow power-punching heavyweight for the vacant IBF heavyweight title.

Despite being a relative unknown to anyone but hardcore fans of 'The Sweet Science,' Denny will look to steal the show from Joshua against his unbeaten foe. He has a tall task ahead of him, but he is nothing if not determined, and will look to hand Sheeraz his first-ever loss.

For now though, the bulk of boxing's casual fanbase is unfamiliar with Denny. So what can they expect to learn about the defending EBU European middleweight champion?


Who is Tyler Denny?

Born on July 2, 1991 in Wordsley, West Midlands, England, Tyler Denny is a 33-year-old Englishman, who is part of his country's rich boxing history. Regarding his personal life, Denny has four children, consisting of three daughters and one son. His daughters are Skylar, who is two, Luna, who is 11, and Cader, who is 13.

His son, meanwhile, is called Baine and is eight years old. Moreover, he is also in a relationship with a woman called Emmaleigh New. While it is unclear if she is the mother of all four of his children, she is the mother of the couple's youngest child, Skylar.


Tyler Denny's boxing career explored

As a boxer, Tyler Denny is accomplished. Fighting from the southpaw stance, he has used the rarity of his stance to build a 19-2 record at middleweight. Unfortunately, he lacks in punching power, having only ever stopped one of his 19 conquests.

Curiously, one of his two losses was also a stoppage. Nevertheless, he has managed to capture and defend the EBU European middleweight, which he will now look to retain against Hamzah Sheeraz this Saturday on the Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois card.

It will be a difficult challenge, but to do so, he will rely on the expertise of his coach Errol Johnson, who once slapped him to attention in-between rounds in the boxer's bout against Brad Pauls.
