“Working with him’s been easy,” Boxxer founder and CEO Ben Shalom instructed The Independent on Tuesday (8 November). “All he wants to do is fight; he would do it for free, he absolutely loves it.
“I’ve never met someone as focused as he is. It’s sometimes hard for Shane [McGuigan, coach] to calm him down, but it’s been a pleasure.
“When we saw him for the first time, we knew he was special. Everyone in boxing would talk about Adam Azim for a long time. We knew that a lot of promoters were going to be looking at him, and that we needed to secure him for a long time, because we believe that he can be literally one of the biggest stars that the country has seen – a household name.”
Azim’s subsequent battle will likely be a main-event conflict with Ryan Charlton at London’s Alexandra Palace on Sunday 26 November. In his final bout, Azim secured a fifth straight stoppage win, beating Michel Cabral in September.
