After Azim’s victory against Scoby, his coach Shane McGuigan commented that finding opponents for the young boxer would be a challenge, as few would be willing to face the 23-year-old star. Shalom expressed that they are on their way to finalize the fight for next year. “He will headline the card on BBC Two at the end of January, which is huge for him,” said the promoter. Shalom also highlighted Azim’s performance against Scoby, noting that it captured the attention of the American public and that the boxer does not receive the recognition he deserves. “I think he is the most talented boxer we have in this country, but he will prove it, and everything takes time,” he added. Azim is currently ranked ninth in the WBC super lightweight rankings and tenth in the IBF and WBO.We want someone who truly believes they can win. But there aren’t many people willing to take the risk.
