Dan Azeez wants to propel himself back into the light-heavyweight title mix when he returns to the ring at Selhurst Park on Saturday June 15.
Azeez will fight Hrvoje Sep on the undercard of Chris Billam-Smith's world title defence against Richard Riakporhe in what will mark his first fight since suffering a unanimous decision loss to Joshua Buatsi in February. He features as part of a busy light-heavyweight scene on the domestic stage, with ambitions of challenging the biggest names in the division.
'I felt like I'd let people down , I like to class myself as an ambassador of the guy you didn't expect much from,' said Azeez. 'I go gyms and go around to the local shop and people are inspired. I felt like I'd let people down, but the feedback from everyone has been near to 100 per cent positive. 'It's boxing. If you want to be the best you have to fight the best, you aren't always going to come out on top.
