Fight Details

Adam Azim is set to take the next big step in his career as he faces former IBF World Champion Sergey Lipinets for the IBO World Super Lightweight Title at London’s OVO Arena Wembley. Following a statement-making eighth-round stoppage of Ohara Davies in October, the 22-year-old Azim aims to prove he’s ready for the global stage.

Having already claimed and defended the European Title, Azim moves into world-level competition determined to show he belongs with the best in the division. Lipinets, a seasoned veteran with victories over noted names like Lamont Peterson and Omar Figueroa Jr, promises to provide a stern test.

Watch Azim vs. Davies highlights: Watch

Despite being 35, Lipinets remains a fierce competitor who recently took part in a thrilling "Fight of the Year" contender against Robbie Davies Jr. His ability to pressure foes and deliver punishing combinations makes him a formidable opponent. Azim will need to rely on speed, timing, and ring IQ to keep the older man’s aggression in check. Local authorities anticipate an influx of international media, reflecting the heightened global interest in Azim's rise.

In the co-main event, at super middleweight, undefeated Callum Simpson (16-0, 11 KOs) squares off with Elvis Ahorgah (13-2, 12 KOs) for the Commonwealth title in a clash of unbeaten vs. nearly unbeaten. Simpson’s clean record makes him a hot prospect, while the agile Ahorgah has enough ring savvy to keep things interesting. Heavyweight fans can watch Jeamie Tshikeva (7-1, 4 KOs) test his skills against Michael Webster (10-2, 6 KOs).

Elsewhere, cruiserweights Scott Forrest (7-0, 4 KOs) and Aurel Ignat (8-0, 7 KOs) put their perfect records on the line. Both remain untested at the professional level against top-tier opponents, so this meeting will reveal who has the upper hand in power and adaptability. Similarly, welterweight up-and-comer Joel Kodua (7-0, 0 KOs) tries to stay unbeaten against a more experienced Lloyd Germain (9-2, 1 KO), while new cruiserweight Lucas Roehrig (1-0, 1 KO) dives into deeper waters when he meets veteran Milosav Savić (9-8-1, 7 KOs).

The action will be available live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland and on Peacock in the USA, ensuring fight fans around the world can witness this crossroads bout. This showdown will reveal whether Azim is truly ready to become a standout force in the super lightweight scene - or whether Lipinets still has what it takes to derail a young champion's dreams.
