Boxing: Adam Azim to make injury comeback against Steve Claggett live on BBC Two in May

Adam Azim will make his return from injury against Steve Claggett live on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer on 30 May in London at the Wembley Arena.

The undefeated Briton was scheduled to fight Gustavo Lemos in January before picking up an injury.

Azim was expected to reschedule that bout but the Argentinian decided to withdraw from the opportunity.

Azim v Claggett will be live on BBC Two from 21:00 until 23:00 BST, with the undercard live on BBC iPlayer.

“This is another big step forward for me on my journey to a world title,” Azim said.

“Steve Claggett is a tough, experienced fighter, he gave Teofimo Lopez his toughest fight, and that’s exactly the kind of challenge I want.

“I’m ready to put on a great performance and show everyone why I’m destined for the top.”

Canada’s Claggett, 36, has a record of eight losses, two draws and 40 wins, giving him a big experience advantage over 23-year-old Azim.

Claggett has one fight at world-title level, losing to then WBO light-welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez in 2024 on points and has fought just twice since then.
