After Azim’s victory over Scoby, his coach, Shane McGuigan, highlighted the difficulty of finding opponents willing to face the 23-year-old star. McGuigan pointed out that few boxers want to take a risk against Azim, recognizing his skill and potential.We want someone who truly believes they can win. But there aren’t many people willing to take the risk.

Shalom, for his part, expressed optimism about Azim’s future and his next fight:
He will headline the bill on BBC Two at the end of January, which is huge for him. I think his performance against Kurt Scoby was excellent and captured the attention of the American audience. Shalom added that he believes Azim doesn’t receive the recognition he deserves, considering him the most talented boxer in the country. Furthermore, he emphasized the importance of this upcoming fight for Azim to consolidate his star status. Azim currently holds the ninth position in the WBC super lightweight rankings and the tenth position in the IBF and WBO rankings.
