Adam Azim vs Ohara Davies: Start time, stream, TV channel and undercard for explosive lightweight bout in London
ADAM AZIM is putting his undefeated record on the line once again as he takes on British rival Ohara Davies in a mouthwatering lightweight bout this weekend.
Assassin hasn’t looked back since stopping Franck Petitjean in round ten of their 2023 fight to become the new European light-welterweight champion.
The Slough-born icon won and defended the European title in record timing as Azim went on to beat challenger Enock Poulsen three months later.
But Assassin could be coming up against his toughest challenge yet as he faces a former British and Commonwealth champion with a point to prove.
However, the wind will certainly be in the sails of Azim as Davies goes into this battle fresh from a TKO loss against Ismael Barroso.
Ironically, both men started their boxing journeys in East London’s iconic Peacock Gym with Azim looking up to Davies who is ten years older.

What has been said?
Adam Azim admitted that he respects Ohara Davies whereas Davies is confident that he’ll be handing Azim his first loss.
Azim said: “I can’t wait to get back in the ring and back to what I do best,” said Azim. “It was a great honour to win and defend the European title but now I’m ready for my next challenge.
“I’ve known Ohara Davies for many years. I respect him and what he’s achieved in the sport but when we meet in the ring, he’s just another opponent and another step on my journey to the top.
“He’s a good fighter. I think our styles will make for an exciting fight but there’s only going to be one outcome. I’m ready to make a statement and show everybody that I’m ready for the biggest names in the division.”
Davies said: “I’m excited for this fight. I like Adam Azim. I’ve known him since he was very young and it’s amazing to see his success so far in boxing,
“I followed him in the amateurs, and I’ve always respected him. But he isn’t a kid anymore. He’s grown into a man with massive potential. And that’s why it’s a shame that I have to hand him his first defeat.
“No needle, no hate, I want us to go back to our families happy and healthy after the fight. But this is where it all changes for him. I’m sorry Adam. This is where it ends.”
