Adam Azim and Jack Catterall Return to the Ring on the Eubank Jr. vs. Benn Rematch
The undercard for the highly anticipated rematch between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn, scheduled for November 15th at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, will feature Adam Azim and Jack Catterall.
Azim, with an undefeated record of 13-0 and 10 knockouts, seeks to consolidate his path towards a world title in the super lightweight category. His most recent victory was in February, where he achieved an impressive knockout over former champion Sergey Lipinets.
In November, Azim will face the Russian Zaur Abdullaev.
At 23 years old, Azim is considered one of the brightest young prospects in British boxing. His participation in the ring has been limited since his fight against Lipinets, due to changes in the broadcast partners of the promoter BOXXER.Adam Azim will face Zaur Abdullaev in November.Catterall, also with aspirations to contend for a title soon, will return to the ring to face Ekow Essuman.
Catterall (31-2, 13 KOs) suffered a defeat in a world title eliminator against Arnold Barboza Jr. in February, but secured a controversial victory over Harlem Eubank in July. The Chorley boxer will face Essuman (22-1, 8 KOs), who defeated his former rival Josh Taylor in May, in what promises to be a high-caliber fight.
The fight card will also include the bout between British cruiserweight turned heavyweight Richard Riakporhe against Tommy Welch, and the super welterweight clash between Ishmael Davis and Sam Gilley.
