Next fight

Adam Azim looks set to take on Harlem Eubank this Spring after the pair faced-off during the recent 'Bad Blood' card at the O2, suggesting that an agreement is close for the two prospects to settle their differences.

Speculation had been rife that the Assassin was to face British counterpart Dalton Smith, who is the mandatory challenger for the EBU European Super Lightweight Title, but it now appears the Eubank fight will come first.

The Slough fighter successfully defended his European super-lightweight strap against former champion Enock Poulsen last year, with his opponent being forced to retire from the fight with a shoulder injury in the fifth round.
