“I wanted to go to his funeral in Pakistan but I know he would’ve told me to stay and keep training,” Azim told the PA news agency.
“It’s given me that extra motivation and drive in training and this fight is dedicated to him. I’m also going to put his name on my shorts. “Any time that I fight, there will be a massive party in his town in Pakistan and everyone will go and congratulate him, so this fight is dedicated to him.” And the 21-year-old has set his sights on the European rankings should he get the job done on Saturday in Manchester.“And I feel like this is the fight to put me up in the rankings and put me where I need to be.
