    Best 2 things for a young fighter are activity and taking the traditional routes. No complaints here.

    Petitjean is not a bad boxer and he can give Azim some problems. Maybe it's too early ?

    Maybe,it's a solid test that's for sure, but isn't it all more fun to watch when someone is rolling the dice and taking a risk. Fair play and good luck to him. Makes a nice change from trying to get someone 20-0 without facing a pulse

    For someone who hasn't seen Franck Petitjean box, how would you describe his style? I heard he liked coming forward and fighting on the inside and has a good left hook. I know adam was getting caught with that in his last fight. Should be interesting.

    Apparently the winner of this fight will have to face Enoch Pouslen by the end of February 2024 and then Dalton Smith is the next mandatory. I think if Azim beats Petitjean and Poulsen, he will vacate the title and Dalton Smith vs Harlem Eubank will get ordered.

    The next mandatory after Dalton Smith will probably be Jon Fernández if he wins the EBU Silver vs Walid Ouizza.

    Future British Hall of Famer and Greatest Ever Boxer Anthony 'Ali' Joshua racked up 22 such wins before he bravely took Andy Ruiz 7 rounds in New York nearly pulling off the upset.

    Exactly. He is really good in infighting but can also figure out how to move in and out all the time. Azim may win, but it could very well be a very tough fight.

    Boxxer / Sky needs to be careful that Azim doesn't get destroyed by too many tough fights early in his career.

    It seems like Walid Ouizza will be facing Charlemagne Metonyekpon next and not Jon Fernandez. Dalton Smith vs Jon Fernandez for the European title would be solid though if it happens.

    As we can see Adam is being fast tracked, he is a special talent at only 21yrs old with just 9 fights.. bypassing British and going onto European level ..

    Interesting very interesting.. Kudos to him and his team .. not messing around and adding lots of stiffs to pad record refreshing too see .. Adam says he wants a world title shot by end of 2024 .. let's see..

    Boxxer need headliners and bigger shows than what they’re currently putting on so they’ve no option but to move Azim fast.

    Sink or swim time. Hope they put Whittaker on the same path too.

    Definitely Adam is set and geared to be the next face of British boxing by Boxxer and Sky Sports .. this kid is going to swim with flying colours ..
