Adam Azim next fight is now official for Saturday, June 7, 2025, at Oakwell Football Ground, Barnsley, where the undefeated super-lightweight will face Mexico’s Eliot Chavez over eight rounds. The bout features on the undercard of the Callum Simpson vs Ivan Zucco European title clash, airing live on Sky Sports.
But while the venue and broadcast are set, many fans are far from thrilled due to both the level of opponent at this stage of Adam Azim’s career, and also that it has been announced just 3 days from the event taking place.
Fan Backlash Grows Over Adam Azim Next Fight
The announcement triggered a wave of backlash on social media, with fans questioning the calibre of Azim’s opponent and the overall direction of his career.
One user, Leepurdy8486, wrote:
“This guy’s opponents are so bad it’s unreal, he’s so badly managed it’s tragic to watch.”
Another, RobT202, responded with a simple but telling:
“🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣”
While dhhdd66687 added:
“Adam Azim PLEASE LEAVE BOXXER🙏🙏🙏🙏 this some disrespectful ass shit.”
The sentiment is clear Adam Azim, once touted as Britain’s next breakout star, is beginning to lose momentum in the eyes of supporters. With Chavez entering the fight on the back of a mixed record and no major wins, fans expected more from a fighter who’s already held the European title and appeared ready for world-level tests.
