Adam Azim: If Josh Taylor wants it, let him! | ‘When I fight Dalton Smith, I’ll teach him a lesson’ | Boxing news
Adam Azim is convinced that on Saturday, at the Wembley Arena at the Wembley Arena, he set a marker with his appearance against former IBF world title Sergei Lipinette.
Azim managed to lipite with Quickfire Counterpch in his third round and finally flooded Kazakhh in the ninth.
The Sloughh’s star quickly said that “100 percent of the threat” proved to be “100 percent.”
“It’s a former world champion,” Azim said Sky Sports. “Only [Jaron] “Boots” Ennis stopped him, and I was another person who stopped him and the way I did it, I disassembled him, broke him, and thought I did really well.
“Hopefully there are more fights on this horizon.”
He issued a message directly to the British rival Dalton Smith. “Tell him he really fights, don’t fight easy,” Azim said. “I wish him good luck. I want him to win. I won.
“The fight has grown up and I have a lot of respect for him. When I fight him, I’ll teach him a lesson.
“He doesn’t know what I have, what I’m going to do. All the people around him continue to talk, keep talking, talk – guys haven’t seen the best of me yet, that was just a little of me, just a little.”
Smith is not the only All-Britan struggle that Azim would like to have. He would welcome the fight with Josh Taylor, a previously undisputed world champion of £ 140.
“I don’t know if he will take it,” Azim told Taylor. “A great fight, it will be a huge struggle. But let’s see what he wants. Honestly, let’s see what he wants. If Josh wants it, let’s have that.
“It’s a patience,” he continued. “Raise to the top, you have to be patient.
“[I’m] Threat to the whole division and I’m not far from it. “
Shane McGuigan, Azim’s coach, was previously trained by Taylor himself. He would not turn away from that struggle.
“We would like a big name. We would like the names,” McGuigan said Sky Sports. “You have Dalton Smith, you have Josh Taylor, you have Jack Catterall.
“These are the guys we would look at in the country. But we don’t want to go lower than that in terms of domestic struggle. I don’t think there’s a credibility lower.
“We want such names or great American name.”
McGuigan added, “It’s ready to box the best guys. I honestly believe it is.”
In addition to low blows, in which Azim touched two points in the fourth and seventh rounds, the 22-year-old provided enough complete performance against Lipinette.
McGuigan also pointed out that Azim adapted to dealing with strokes that were low.
“They were very close to each other, [Lipinets] was very short and obviously a little and he [Azim] He started bending to really go through the outside of the elbow, then Lipinens changed the corner and shot in close, “McGuigan explained.
“It’s accidental, but you have to turn. You have to change it and once he had two low strokes, once he did, he switched him and went for his head.
“It’s very difficult to adjust to the fight so, but it just shows you how comfortable he is.”
McGuigan was pleased with Azim’s work. “He just dismantled a guy who was the world champion, just beat by guys who are really elite fighters,” the coach said.
“I think he did a fantastic job. He stopped him, dissected him early, interrupted him with a stitch. He lowered him in the third round and decided to stand with him.
“Lipinens, dealt with approaching Adam, approaching and standing there and doing him out. But once he got there, Adam was so much better inside than him.”
Azim is likely to be the next frame in the summer and wants to have a third duel later in the year. The fight with Dalton Smith, provided that both still win, could appear on the horizon.
Ben Shalom, Azim’s promoter, said Dalton Smith was “at some point is inevitable.”
He said Sky Sports: “In the same way we persecute Ryan Garcias and Devin Haneys, they persecute Adam Azim and so feel that way. I think the fight will happen.
“But I think the trajectory Adam is about it quickly, this is early in his career means that this will happen when we decide that it will happen. I think it is a fight that happens down the line, maybe for the title.
“These are two big British names and we saw what they could do with Khan and Brook, both Eubank and Benn. That night you often don’t get in boxing and there are not many domestic opponents who can really resolve Adam Azim.
“Dalton Smith is a great fighter. The big fight is down the line, it is a massive fight down the line. But in the end Dalton Smith needs Adam Azim much more than Adam needs Dalton,” he continued to Shala.
“Of course they want to get Adam as early as possible, they have been hoping for this fight since they are 19.
“I’m sure this will happen in the next 12 months.”
