Lightweight contender Adam Azim passed his toughest test to date with an impressive eighth-round stoppage win over Ohara Davies at London's Copper Box Arena.Davies, 32, gallantly fought on but was floored again three rounds later as a left hook landed flush.
Azim expects to face Harlem Eubank next and then settle a rivalry with Sheffield's Dalton Smith in 2025. "I feel like you have to know when your time is done. You don’t want to stay in this sport for too long and take too much," he added.Azim has long been touted by his team as a future world champion and was introduced as "one of boxing's fastest rising stars" by the ring announcer.
Despite blood pouring from his nose, Davies looked to be enjoying himself before Azim whipped in a right uppercut in the fourth to wipe the smile off his opponent's face. Davies had boxed at a significantly higher level, with two of his three previous losses coming against undisputed champion Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall.
