Harlem Eubank Expresses Hope for Future Clash with Adam Azim
Harlem Eubank remains optimistic about a potential matchup with Adam Azim despite last year’s stalled negotiations. The two fighters were on track for a bout in 2024, but the fight ultimately fell through. Eubank stated, “There are a lot of ifs and that is what kept us out of the ring for 12 months. I’ll just be focused on what I have in front of me.”
Eubank emphasized his commitment to his upcoming fight against Tyrone McKenna, stating, “But for now, I am fully locked in on McKenna.” However, he also expressed interest in the idea of facing Azim in the future, indicating that he is always excited about big fights.
Meanwhile, Adam Azim prepares for his own significant bout as he faces Sergey Lipinets, a former IBF super-lightweight champion, this Saturday. His promoter has acknowledged Eubank’s call-out, suggesting that a future Eubank vs. Azim match could be a high-profile encounter in British boxing.
“Harlem Eubank’s obviously calling Adam out and he likes the fight. That would be a great match and it’s a fight we should have had,” the promoter stated. Azim’s immediate focus is on his fight with Lipinets, but there’s undeniable anticipation regarding a potential clash with Eubank if he performs well.
Eubank’s next challenge, set for March in his hometown of Brighton, will be against McKenna, who has openly questioned Eubank’s level of competition. “He’s going to feel a lot of pressure going into this fight. I’m the best opponent that he has had,” McKenna remarked, ready to take on the hometown fighter.
As both Eubank and Azim prepare for their respective fights, fans eagerly await any developments regarding a future match between the two rising stars in the boxing world.
