Adam Azim is set to defend his undefeated professional record once again as he prepares to fight Eliot Chavez in an exciting super lightweight contest.
The talented British-Pakistani boxer was last in action earlier this year, where he secured a victory over Sergey Lipinets via stoppage to claim the vacant IBF 140-pound belt.
That win extended Azim`s impressive career record to 13 victories from 13 fights, with a remarkable ten of those wins coming by way of knockout.
However, this upcoming fight could present a significant challenge. Chavez recently bounced back from a streak of three consecutive defeats by scoring a fifth-round knockout victory over Hector Manuel Vargas last month.
Furthermore, Azim should approach Chavez with caution, as the Mexican fighter is notably recognized for his previous stoppage victory over former world champion Mauricio Lara.
It is also worth noting that Chavez was disqualified in a contentious fight against Harlem Eubank back in 2022.
This highly anticipated clash has been added as a late inclusion to the undercard headlined by Callum Simpson vs Ivan Zucco.
