NEWSFLASH: The latest BOXXER Fight Night London is a wrap! Check out our BOXING section here for more events coming up in or around the capital.Â
CONGRATULATIONS to Adam Azim who put on a top-of-the-bill performance to remember at the latest BOXXER Fight Night London show. The rising light-welterweight star was too quick, too skilful and too fresh for his game opponent Sergy Lipinets who previously held the IBF title. Azim claimed the IBO belt and improved his unbeaten record to thirteen straight wins. Also on the bill, British and Commonwealth super-middleweight champion Callum Simpson moved to 17-0 dispatching Ghana’s Elvis Ahorgah courtesy of a fifth-round stoppage.
SATURDAY 1 FEBRUARY PREVIEW
The BOXXER Promotions action in 2024 featured memorable cruiserweight world title showdown between Chris Billam-Smith and Richard Riakporhe at Selhurst Park, a heavyweight battle of the ages between Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke and a super-lightweight showdown between the hotly-tipped Adam Azim and the seasoned Ohara Davies. And tonight Azim returns in the first BOXXER Fight Night London show of 2025 which promises to be a cracker under the lights at Wembley Arena.
BOXXER FIGHT NIGHT LONDONÂ TOP OF THE BILL –Â #AzimLipinets
Itâs game on for Adam Azim (12-0, 9 KOs) who steps up to face Sergey Lipinets (18-3, 13 KOs) on Saturday 1 February at OVO Arena Wembley. Azim put his European title on the line against the experienced the Ohara Davies when he last fought. The undefeated 22-year-old came through at the Copper Box Arena with flying colours. He stopped Ohara – a former British and Commonwealth champion – in round eight after a dominant display.
Having previously won and defended the European title in record-time with victories over Franck Petitjean and Enock Poulsen, Azim has Lipinets in his sights with the IBO super-lightweight belt at stake. Lipinets represents the stiffest challenge so far in Azim’s career.
Lipinets is a Kazakhstan-born fighter and former IBF super-lightweight world champion. He captured the IBF belt with a unanimous points win over Akihiro Kondo at the Brooklyn Center in November 2017. The 35-year-old has since established himself as one of the top contenders in the super-lightweight and welterweight divisions. Notable victories include those over former world champions Lamont Peterson and Omar Figueroa Jr.
Lipinetsâ latest bout was a âFight Of The Yearâ contender against Azimâs countryman and former gym mate Robbie Davies Jr. Lipinets scored a unanimous points win over the British boxer in a ten-round thriller. He showcased his power in the fight sending Davies Jr to the canvas once in the fifth round and twice in the eighth.
BOXXER FIGHT NIGHT LONDON –Â UNDERCARD
The chief support is an intriguing cruiserweight encounter between rising star Viddal Riley (12-0, 7 KOs) and fellow Londoner Isaac Chamberlain (16-3, 8 KOs). Riley is the current English champion and unbeaten in 12 professional fights. Chamberlain is a former European title challenger who is looking to get his career back on track after a loss to Jack Massey at Selhurst Park earlier this year.
