Adam Azim Returns to the Ring on January 31st in London: New Rival in Sight!

Adam Azim is preparing to return to the ring in January. The fight will take place in London on January 31st, against a potential opponent within the top 15 of the super-lightweight category, as confirmed by promoter Ben Shalom. Although the agreement has not yet been finalized, Boxxer is close to securing an opponent for what will be Azim’s first fight on 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 where he won every round and finished with a knockout in the twelfth round.

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

Shane McGuigan

After the fight, his coach, Shane McGuigan, commented that finding opponents for Azim would be difficult, as few would be willing to face the 23-year-old young star. Shalom, for his part, assured that they are on their way to fight again in the new year.

It’s going to be the star on BBC Two at the end of January, which is huge for him.

Ben Shalom

Shalom added that Azim’s performance against Kurt Scoby was excellent and that he believes it captured the attention of the American audience. Azim is currently ranked number 9 in the WBC super lightweight rankings. In the IBF and WBO, he is ranked number 10.
