He defeated Dean Peet of Rotunda ABC in the final after beating the Yorkshire champion Corben Beecher from Tommy Coyle Boxing Club in the semi-finals.

Prior to that Sheikh was scheduled to fight in the quarter-finals, however due to police recommendations the venue was changed and the championships postponed, before his opponent then withdrew meaning he progressed into the semi-finals.
