York Hall bill: With a thrilling York Hall lineup that also includes Frazer Clarke and Viddal Riley, Adam Azim takes the biggest gamble of his explosive career against Aram Fanyan.
Prior to their super-lightweight matchup at the legendary London stadium, the accomplished Ukrainian, who has 22 triumphs with just one setback, will represent a significant step up in class for the young 21-year-old.
On a jam-packed undercard, Riley fights Anees Taj in a cruiserweight rematch while Clarke hones his techniques in preparation for his impending British heavyweight title fight with Fabio Wardley.
Despite breaking the scaphoid bone in his right wrist, Azim defeated Santos Reyes by a lopsided margin of points, extending his unblemished professional record to eight wins and six brutal stoppages.
But, Fanyan, who has won nine straight fights since his lone loss, including a victory over Timo Schwarzkopf to claim the IBO International crown, represents his most dangerous threat right now.
With a win, Azim may move up the WBA rankings from his present position of No. 14 and get closer to contending for the European title. This fight is high-risk for Azim, but it also has the potential to yield huge rewards.
After being announced as the mandatory challenger for British championship holder Wardley, who has welcomed a summer fight, Clarke will practise his punches in a warm-up match.
Riley and Taj still owe each other one after Riley was victorious via doctor’s stoppage in the fourth round in February due to a gash above Taj’s eyebrow.
Unbeaten potential A mouthwatering middleweight matchup between Aaron “The Silencer” McKenna and Shakiel “Dr Steel” Thompson also takes place for the WBC International Middleweight Title.
According to Ben-Shalom, founder and CEO of BOXXER, “Numerous British boxing greats have passed through the legendary York Hall on their route to the top, and on 10 June it’s Adam Azim’s turn to take his next step to glory at this storied arena.”
“He takes great risks with each battle, and I believe that in the future, this fight will be remembered as a turning point in his career.
