Adam Azim vs. Sergey Lipinets: A Must-See Showdown for the IBO World Title

Get ready, fight fans! Adam Azim is set to face off against former champion Sergey Lipinets for the IBO World Super Lightweight Championship on February 1st, 2025, at the iconic OVO Arena Wembley in London. This fight, presented by BOXXER, will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK and Peacock in the U.S., and it’s one you won’t want to miss.

Azim: The Young Gun on the Rise

Adam Azim (12-0, 9 KOs) is coming off a sensational win against Ohara Davies back on October 19th, where he showcased his skills by stopping Davies in the eighth round. The 22-year-old rising star is eager to prove he’s ready for the big leagues after dominating the competition and defending his European Title in record time. Now, he’s got his eyes set on the world title.

“This fight is another step up for me,” Azim said, brimming with confidence. “Sergey Lipinets is a great fighter and a former world champion. I respect everything he’s done in boxing, but this is my time to shine. I want to show everyone that I can hang with the best in the world.”

Lipinets: The Seasoned Veteran

Facing Azim is Sergey Lipinets (18-3-1, 13 KOs), a tough-as-nails fighter with plenty of experience under his belt. Lipinets is no stranger to high-stakes bouts; he captured the IBF World Super Lightweight Title back in 2017 and has faced off against some of the toughest names in the sport. His recent victory over Robbie Davies Jr. was nothing short of thrilling, showcasing his knockout power and resilience.

“I’m glad Adam accepted this fight,” Lipinets said. “A lot of top fighters don’t want to step in the ring with me. This is make or break for me. Adam is young and strong, but he doesn’t have my experience. I’ve seen it all in the ring. May the best man win.”

What’s at Stake in This Epic Clash?

This matchup isn’t just another fight; it’s a pivotal moment for both Azim and Lipinets. Ben Shalom, the Founder and CEO of BOXXER, highlighted the stakes involved: “This is a big risk for Adam. He’s young and still early in his career, but he’s going up against a seasoned fighter like Sergey Lipinets. There’s no doubt Lipinets is dangerous. But Adam has something special. This is a huge opportunity for him to show the world what he’s made of.”

As we count down to February 1st, the excitement builds. Will Azim’s youthful energy carry him to victory, or will Lipinets’ experience prove too much? Fight fans are in for a treat as these two talented boxers clash for the IBO title. Mark your calendars—this is a showdown you won’t want to miss!
