Fanyan warns Azim: Adam Azim has quickly established a name for himself as a knockout performer with remarkable quickness and spite.
Aram Fanyan from Ukraine, who has far more professional experience than Azim, is practically insulted that he is the underdog in their matchup. He is his opponent’s next opponent.
“Adam Azim is not the best fighter, I can say that. Since he has only eight fights under his belt, we are unable to agree with what you, everyone here, say about him being a top prospect despite his youth and speed. I’ve already fought in almost 20 battles,” he said to Sky Sports. “I received two titles.
“Saturday night will reveal all that is true.”
“I’ll see him this coming Saturday. He is a typical fighter in my eyes, with two hands, two legs, and one head,” Fanyan warns Azim.
“We don’t want to talk about his flaws, but all UK fans will notice them on Saturday night.
“Nobody will defeat him with as much force as I will. Adam Azim will have a really difficult night, and it will undoubtedly be a test of his chin.”
Azim’s coach, Shane McGuigan, believes that Fanyan will provide Azim just the training he needs to set himself up for a future world championship.
“It’s a very good fight,” McGuigan said to Sky Sports. “We’re not going to rush in there and blitz him, that much is certain. It will require patience, and it appears to be a difficult battle. I believe that it may be a hard battle as well.

“We will need to be precise since “he dropped Timo Schwarzkopf a few times, and not many people do that. He certainly has power and possibly precision.
“I believe this to be a tougher contest than the European champion. But he actually needs it to advance to the level of the world, which is where we want to be.”
Azim, meanwhile, is at “a different level,” according to McGuigan.
“He is something people cannot anticipate. They are unable to spar in order to get ready for him,” the trainer remarked.
“Sparring Adam Azim is not the same as sparring Viktor Postol and other stuff. He can really hit you with shots that come at you quickly and from unusual angles.
“But we must be vigilant, dismantle him, and refrain from going into the game expecting a strong showing right away. It’s all about patience in this battle. It all depends on how Adam Azim handles the stress and the patience.
“He’s going to need to learn these things as a warrior regardless before reaching the level of the world. If he takes a shot, make sure he doesn’t take another, weather the storm.
“These are the matches that, when reflected upon, you will remark, ‘I needed that then,’ whether you are competing for a world championship or have already won one. That is why I have advocated for this throughout.”
