Adam Azim is set to headline a London show live on BBC Two on January 31.

The undefeated junior welterweight moved up to No. 8 in The Ring’s rankings after his near-faultless display against Kurt Scoby at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on November 15, which ended in a 12th-round stoppage.

The 23-year-old turned in one of the most complete performances of his career as part of the undercard for Conor Benn’s victory over Chris Eubank Jr. live on DAZN and now the Slough man is set to make his debut on BBC.

According to his promoter Ben Shalom, the founder and CEO of Boxxer, Azim is being lined up to take centre stage in their January show, which is in the works for January 31.

Shalom is hoping to stage a show a month as part of his new deal with the BBC, which kicks off this weekend when Frazer Clarke and Jeamie TKV meet for the vacant British heavyweight title before Callum Simpson and Troy Williamson clash in Leeds in December.

Then he says Azim (14-0, 11 KOs) will get his chance on the platform as he bids to continue his march towards world level.

Shalom told the Ring: “In his next fight, he's going to fight in a headliner on BBC2.

“I believe it will be a huge watershed moment for him. I think he's announced himself on the global scene now and I think the US have seen how talented a fighter he is in his last few fights.

“Now he’s got a big headline event in his toughest test to date on January 31 in London. It’s something that we are putting together now and it will kick off a huge year for him.”

Azim, still just 23, is now ranked in the top 10 with three of the four major sanctioning bodies having won his last five fights inside the distance during a run which included a victory over former world champion Sergey Lipinets and also gleaned the European title at 140 pounds.

Shalom believes his form has marked Azim out alongside heavyweight prodigy Moses Itauma as the two most promising fighters currently operating in Britain.

He added: “For me, I think him and Moses are the most talented Brits coming through. I think both of them are capable of unifying divisions.

“Next year will be massive for him, and that was a massive performance against Scoby particularly after being out for a bit. For us, starting to see him getting the recognition he deserves is great.

“He's going to go on to achieve massive things in the sport.”

Devout Muslim Azim was keen to box before the Holy Month of Ramadan starts on February 17 and Shalom has delivered an adequate date. It will, however, clash with Josh Kelly's world title challenge against IBF junior-middleweight champion Bakhram Murtazaliev, which will be broadcast on DAZN from Newcastle Arena on the same night.
