Adam Azim is more than just an explosive knockout artist with flashy backflips—he’s a young fighter carefully navigating the boxing spotlight while refining his public persona.
The 22-year-old light-welterweight headlines Wembley Arena on Saturday against former world champion Sergey Lipinets—a crucial step towards fulfilling his world-title aspirations in 2025.
But behind the scenes, Azim’s journey involves much more than just powerful punches.
Managing the Hype & Staying Grounded
📢 “A lot of new people start coming into your life… but now I have a very small circle.” — Adam Azim
Rising stardom brings attention—and challenges. As Azim’s profile grows, he remains cautious, carefully managing his inner circle and media presence.
🎙️ Sharpening His Public Image:
✅ Reading books (including Harry Potter) to improve English
✅ Undergoing media training for interviews
✅ Expanding his global appeal with a fight broadcasted in Pakistan
📺 “Targeting the Pakistani audience is important—it’s great for my profile. Inshallah, me and Hamzah [Sheeraz] both get victories and open more doors.”
🥊 World Title in 2025?
Azim is “one million percent” confident that he will win a world title next year, eyeing a potential clash with IBF champion Richardson Hitchins.
💥 Upcoming Fight: Azim vs. Lipinets
📅 Date: Saturday
📍 Location: Wembley Arena
🏆 Significance: A dominant win could push Azim closer to world-title contention.
While Lipinets is a former world champion, a victory may not yet shake up the division. However, a domestic grudge match with Dalton Smith could be the perfect launchpad for global success.
🔥 Azim vs. Smith – A Delayed Showdown?
Azim and undefeated Dalton Smith were ordered to fight for the European title, but Azim vacated the belt instead.
There were hopes for a Smith-Azim fight on the Benn vs. Eubank Jr undercard (April 26), but Ramadan preparations mean Azim won’t be ready.
👀 Could a Smith-Azim blockbuster happen later in 2025? If both keep winning, a potential world-title clash could be on the horizon.
⏳ Boxing fans, however, may not have the patience to wait!
🚨 What’s Next for Adam Azim?
📅 Short-Term: A statement win against Lipinets to boost his ranking
🏆 Mid-Term: A potential domestic grudge match with Dalton Smith
