Adam Azim and Jack Catterall Return to the Ring on the Eubank Jr. vs. Benn Undercard
Boxing fans have reason to be excited. Adam Azim and Jack Catterall will return to action on the undercard of the highly anticipated rematch between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn, scheduled for November 15th at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Azim, with an undefeated record of 13-0 and 10 knockouts, is seeking a world title opportunity in the super lightweight category. His most recent victory was an impressive knockout over former champion Sergey Lipinets in February.
The young British boxer will face Russian Zaur Abdullaev in November. Azim, 23, is considered one of the most promising emerging stars of boxing in Great Britain. However, he has been inactive since his fight against Lipinets due to changes in the broadcast partners of the promoter BOXXER.Boxer Jack Catterall, who also aspires to compete for a title in the near future, 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 achieved a victory in July over Harlem Eubank. 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 clash between Richard Riakporhe, who has moved from cruiserweight to heavyweight, against Tommy Welch, and the fight between Ishmael Davis and Sam Gilley in the super welterweight category.
