United KingdomSeason 2026Round 60
Adam Azim delivered a breathtaking statement performance, dismantling the incredibly rugged Steve Claggett inside three rounds to defend his flawless record and advance toward a world title opportunity. Claggett entered the ring having never been stopped in his lengthy 59-fight professional career, but he simply had no answers for the blistering speed and devastating accuracy of the young Briton.
The opening frame saw Claggett eagerly push forward to assert his signature high-pressure style. Rather than giving ground, Azim stood his territory, instantly timing the Canadian with chopping right hands and bloodies Claggett's nose with a spectacular right uppercut.
The tactical dominance intensified in the second round as Azim found a home for his right uppercut at will. Near the end of the frame, Azim detonated a devastating right hook high on the head that sent the brave veteran crashing down to the canvas.
Claggett showed immense heart to beat the count and answer the bell for the third, but he walked straight back into a relentless onslaught. Azim unleashed a blistering combination against his tottering opponent near the ropes, forcing the referee to step in and correctly wave off the contest to spare the outgunned veteran further damage.
