Adam Azim claims the European title
Adam Azim claimed the European super lightweight title with a dominant display against Franck Petitjean.
The 21-year-old moved to 10-0 with a hard-punching and skillful performance. Petitjean was down more than once in the contest as Azim thundered in body attacks.
In the tenth, another onslaught by Azim saw Petitjean’s corner throw in the towel as he hit the canvas again.
Azim is fast becoming one of the most talked about prospects in British boxing and is already a star for BOXXER on Sky Sports.
Claiming the EBU strap in ten fights at a young age is a record-breaking feat.
In the final main fight of the evening, Tyler Denny dethroned Matteo Signani of his European middleweight title.
Clashes of heads early on marked the Italian up as Denny took control of the scorecards. A horrible gash opened in the sixth, and the writing was on the wall.
Signani retired on his stool, giving up his title between the seventh and eighth sessions.
Richard Riakporhe
Cruiserweight Richard Riakporhe made light work of Dylan Bregeon to move to 17-0. Riakporhe was classes above the Frenchman and dispatched him in the second round.
Another demolition job pushes the Briton closer to a world title shot, potentially against compatriot Chris Billam-Smith.

Rhys Edwards moved to 15-0 at featherweight with a 97-94 victory over Brad Foster. Edwards got the most significant scalp of his career against the former British and Commonwealth super bantamweight ruler.
Rugged Nicaraguan Robin Zamora stunned Dylan Cheema in their super lightweight contest. Catching Cheema clean throughout the fight, Zamora landed by far the cleaner blows.
Cheema showed great heart and a superb chin. However, he dropped a second loss in his eleventh bout. How Zamora, who scored his 21st career victory, has lost 24 times is a mystery on the evidence he provided.
