Adam Azim Returns to the Ring in London on January 31st: Boxing at its Best

Adam Azim is preparing to return to the ring in January, as confirmed by promoter Ben Shalom to Alofoke Deportes. Although a deal hasn’t been closed yet, Boxxer is close to securing an opponent for what will be Azim’s first fight on the BBC. Azim (14-0, 11 KOs) defeated American Kurt Scoby on the undercard of Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn II earlier this month, with a dominant performance in which he won every round before achieving a stoppage in Round 12.

We want someone who truly believes they can win. But there aren’t many people willing to take a risk.

After the fight, trainer Shane McGuigan said that getting opponents for Azim would be difficult, as not many wanted to risk themselves against the 23-year-old star. However, Shalom stated that they are on their way to fight again in the new year.

He’s going to headline the bill on BBC Two at the end of January, which is huge for him.
