Adam Azim to top the bill at London’s Wembley Arena on 11th February

Super-lightweight sensation Adam Azim will look to extend his professional record to 8-0, while fellow world title hopeful Caroline Dubois also returns to in-ring action.

Adam 'The Assasin' Azim will take the next steps on his path to world title glory on Saturday 11th February with his bout against Santos Reyes topping the bill of BOXXER’S latest fight card.

The supremely-talented 20-year-old (7-0, 6KO’s) will take on the unbeaten South American contender (12-0, 3KO’s) at Wembley Arena in a fight that will represent the biggest challenge of his professional career to date.

Azim has established himself as one of the sport’s hottest young prospects on the back of an electric 2022, and he will be desperate to light up London once more after his demolition victory over Connor Marsden at the same venue last March.

The super-lightweight bout will also mark a significant career milestone for Azim, with the Berkshire-born marksman set to headline a major British boxing venue for the first time on the back of his eye-catching stoppage of Rylan Charlton in the primetime spot at BOXXER’s Breakthrough Super Sunday event in November.

The packed card of action in the capital, which is being shown live and exclusively on Sky Sports, is also set to feature aspiring world champion Caroline Dubois, English middleweight title holder Tyler Denny and the undefeated cruiserweight sensation Viddal Riley.

‘Sweet’ Caroline Dubois (5-0, 4KO’s) has segued seamlessly into the professional ranks on the back of a glittering amateur career, but knows she will be facing the toughest test of her career against an opponent who took WBA and IBO super-welterweight champion Terri Harper the full distance last year.

The highly-regarded Argentinean national champion Yamila Belen Aballenda (15-5-1, 3KO’s), who has also shared the ring with unified junior middleweight champion Tasha Jonas, will return to the UK for a second time determined to derail Dubois’ lofty 2023 ambitions. 

But she will face the wrath of one of the hardest hitting women in the game – and a fighter who will be desperate to ignite the New Year in scintillating fashion as she looks to fast-track herself into the super-bantamweight title picture.

Meanwhile, the English middleweight championship will be on the line when newly crowned champion Tyler Denny (15-2-3) makes the first defence of his strap against the unbeaten Brad Pauls (16-0, 9KO’s) after superbly dispatching of Brad Rea in Manchester two months ago.

‘The Newquay Bomb’ boasts an impressive 56 percent stoppage ratio as he bids to elevate his domestic standing to an all-time high, with the winner of the bout likely to catapult themselves into contention for European honours.

Elsewhere, Hackney’s Viddal Riley (7-0, 4 KO’s) returns to action on the back of three show reel stoppages over the past 12 months, with Anees Taj (7-2-0, 5 KO’s), providing the opposition as the 25-year-old’s cruiserweight charge gains momentum.

Riley has marked himself out as a rising threat in the stacked 195-pound division, registering two of his three victories in 2022 inside the first round.
