Rising Star Adam Azim Aims to Continue KO Streak in European Championship Showdown
On November 18, Slough's rising boxing sensation, Adam Azim, will face the current European super-lightweight champion, Franck Petitjean, in a highly anticipated bout in Wolverhampton, broadcast live on Sky Sports. In his tenth professional fight, Azim is eager to get back to his knockout-winning ways, having secured two decision victories in 2023.
Azim, confident and focused, is determined to claim the European super-lightweight title and reignite his KO streak. He believes his last victory, a points win against the seasoned Aram Faniian, has prepared him well for the challenge Petitjean presents.
Looking ahead to the fight, Azim stated, "I'm going to be taking it to him. I'm ready for this fight and eager for the knockout."
Azim's 2023 journey has seen him go the distance in two 10-rounders, proving his ability to handle longer fights and make tactical decisions when required.
The European title fight is coming relatively early in Azim's professional career, with just nine pro bouts under his belt. Yet, he sees this as a significant opportunity to propel himself onto the world stage.
"It's been a great year for me, now I'm fighting for the European title, which is a massive thing, and I'm eager to grab that belt with both hands," said Azim. "It's the gateway to the world title, it's a massive title that people recognize."
The 21-year-old fighter is fully aware of the challenge Petitjean presents, acknowledging his opponent's experience and skill. However, Azim is confident that his speed and power will change the course of the fight and make Petitjean reconsider his approach.
Focused on victory, Azim predicts various ways he could knock out the champion, leaving no room for doubt. He aims to follow this European triumph with a successful title defense and, ultimately, a move to the world stage.
With this upcoming bout, Azim is setting his sights on becoming one of the top super-lightweights in the world, vying for the coveted No. 1 spot alongside other rising talents in the division.
As one of Britain's most promising prospects, Azim is poised to make a name for himself in the boxing world. His fans eagerly await the European championship showdown to see if he can continue his meteoric rise to stardom.
