Adam Azim and Harlem Eubank met at London’s O2 to discuss their upcoming fight in June.
Adam Azim has lived up to his promise to keep fans informed about his next fight against another undefeated English boxer.
However, the surprising news is that Azim is now in discussions to face Harlem Eubank in a June showdown.
Both fighters were present at The O2 in London, where Azim (11-0, 8 KOs) was joined by his manager Barry McGuigan, and Eubank (19-0, 8 KOs) was accompanied by his uncle Chris Eubank Sr.
In an in-ring interview, Azim confidently expressed his readiness for the fight, declaring it as his takeover.
Meanwhile, a scheduled purse bid hearing will determine the promotional rights for Azim’s title defense against Dalton Smith and their British junior welterweight title clash.
Following Smith’s recent victory, he called out Azim, questioning his willingness to defend the title.
If the clash with Eubank proceeds as planned, it will be a significant step for both fighters, with Azim looking to defend his European title and Eubank aiming for a comeback since his last fight in Brighton.
While Eubank doubts Azim’s eagerness for the fight, the matchup is expected to be a highlight of the upcoming BOXXER show on June 15th.
Other anticipated matches at the event include Chris Billum-Smith defending his WBO cruiserweight title against Richard Riakpohe and the All-British light heavyweight title bout between Joshua Buatsi and Anthony Yarde.
Jake Donovan is a senior writer for The Ring and vice president of the Boxing Writers Association of America.
