Adam Azim Returns on Callum Simpson Undercard, Eyes Top Rankings and Big Fights
In a significant development in the world of professional boxing, undefeated British boxer Adam Azim is set to return to the ring on Saturday night at Oakwell Stadium in Barnsley, as he faces off against experienced Mexican fighter Elliot Chavez on the undercard of Callum Simpson’s bout against Ivan Zucco. According to a report by Combatsportsuk.co.uk, Azim, also known as the ‘assassin’, is looking to extend his unbeaten record to 14-0.
Azim’s last fight was against Sergey Lipinets at Wembley Arena in February, where he emerged victorious, albeit with a deduction of two points for low blows. Despite this, he continued to dominate the fight, dropping Lipinets in the third round and eventually winning by a ninth-round stoppage. As reported by Combatsportsuk.co.uk, Azim’s impressive performance has earned him a ranking in the top 15 of both the WBC and WBA.
Azim’s opponent, Elliot Chavez, boasts a respectable record of 12 wins and 7 losses, with three of his losses coming in his last four fights. Notably, one of his losses was against fellow Brit Harlem Eubank, where he was disqualified. However, Chavez has also notched up some significant wins, including victories over Angel Contreras and Mauricio Lara in 2018. As Combatsportsuk.co.uk reports, Chavez’s most recent fight ended in a seventh-round knockout victory over Hector Vargas last month.
A win for Azim on Saturday could see him push up the rankings and potentially set him up for bigger fights in the future. One possible opponent that has been mooted is Dalton Smith, who is currently considered one of the top prospects in the Super-Lightweight division. However, as Combatsportsuk.co.uk quotes, Smith recently stated on the Toe2Toe podcast that his focus is on a potential title fight against Alberto Puello for the WBC Super-lightweight title, saying "at the moment the fight is in the rear mirror, I want to create my own legacy and win world titles, but the fight will happen."
The Super-Lightweight division is highly competitive, with a range of talented fighters vying for top spot. Other potential opponents for Azim could include Angel Fierro, Pierce O’Leary, and Subriel Matias, among others. As reported by Combatsportsuk.co.uk, Azim’s performance on Saturday will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike, as he looks to make a statement in the division.
