Adam Azim vs Ohara Davies Oct 19th on Peacock

It has been confirmed that former European super-lightweight champion Adam Azim will take on fellow Brit Ohara Davies at The Copper Box Arena on October 19. The announcement comes after some earlier confusion, as Davies initially denied knowledge of the fight earlier in the week. However, it seems this was an attempt to keep the bout under wraps until the official reveal.

Now that the cat’s out of the bag, Davies will be looking to bounce back from a crushing first-round defeat he suffered in January against Ismael Barroso. At the same time, he’ll aim to spoil Azim’s plans and make a statement of his own.

Adam Azim: Rising Star with Unfinished Business

Top super-lightweight prospect Adam Azim (11-0, 8 KO) has quickly made a name for himself, with his most recent victories solidifying his status as a force in the division. Last November, Azim knocked out Franck Petitjean to claim the European title, followed by an injury stoppage win over Enock Poulsen in his first title defense. His momentum positioned him for a mandatory defense against Dalton Smith, but Azim pivoted toward a showdown with Harlem Eubank, only for that bout to fall through after a brief April face-off.

Now, with Eubank out of the picture, Azim’s focus shifts to Ohara Davies, a seasoned fighter who brings experience and power to the ring. Azim, at just 22 years old, is seen as a rising star and will likely be the favorite in this bout.

Ohara Davies: Aiming for Redemption

Ohara "Two Tanks" Davies (25-3, 18 KO) steps into this fight with something to prove. After suffering a shocking first-round knockout loss to Ismael Barroso in just 1:53 earlier this year, Davies is eager to regain his footing. Before that setback, he had been on a seven-fight winning streak dating back to a 2018 loss to Jack Catterall.

Despite the loss, Davies remains one of the biggest names in British boxing, and this fight will be a significant test for Azim. Davies is no stranger to the big stage, having previously held British and Commonwealth titles, and he’ll be looking to upset the highly favored Azim.

This fight serves as a major step up for Azim, who will face the toughest challenge of his career in Davies.

The clash between Azim’s youth and power and Davies’ experience and resilience makes this one of the most anticipated British matchups of the year.
