AZIM SEALS DOMINANT PERFORMANCE WITH DECISIVE LATE STOPPAGE AGAINST SCOBY
Adam Azim remains undefeated, stopping a game Kurt Scoby in the 12th round. The dominant performance sets the junior welterweight contender up for a potential future clash with domestic rival Dalton Smith.

There are several positive aspects of Adam Azim's quick and fluid work as a junior welterweight contender.
After stopping a game against rugged Kurt Scoby in the 12th round at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, he will now be focusing on the January bout between domestic rival Dalton Smith and Subriel Matias in New York.
Azim defeated a fighter who had been trying to get inside his mind all week with a dominant and controlled performance, improving to 14-0 (11 KOs).
However, Shane McGuigan-trained Azim maintained his composure. Similar to stablemate Chris Billam-Smith, who had been irritated by Brandon Glanton earlier in the year, Azim let his fists speak for him as Scoby lost 18-2 (16 KOs).
Azim started his quick retort right away. There was not much coming back from the Americans at the beginning, and Scoby had his gloves by his ears. Knowing that Azim's hands would be returning toward him, Scoby was only reluctantly throwing when Azim began firing a right to the body in the second.
Before round three, Scoby was advised in the corner, "I need you to attack a little bit more." He opened the third with a clean right hand that clipped Azim's jaw.
Azim was picking the better performances, including a left to the body in the fourth and a left uppercut in the fifth, but the heavily-muscled Scoby paid attention and had a stronger third round.
Before the sixth, trainer McGuigan advised Azim to remain calm and collected because he had not won a round. "It is better for you the more he pushes it."
Ben Shalom of Boxxer promoted Slough's Azim, who was dominant in that round thanks to his precise and hazy jab.
Azim only began to throw more when the action resumed, landing a left hook to the body and a left hook upstairs shortly after, making Scoby's mission all but impossible after he was penalised a point for clubbing Azim on the back of the head in the eighth.
Scoby’s production was reduced to rare single blows, but Azim was flowing forward and peppering the very durable American with jabs and lefts into his body. Azim was a mile down on points when Scoby waved him in during the ninth, but it was just gamesmanship.
At that time, it was one-sided but not a beating. Azim knew he had it in the bag from the beginning, and Scoby had not won a minute of a round.
When Scoby launched a left hook in the 11th, Azim crashed into his right hand, forcing Scoby to hold and struggle through the ensuing fog. However, Scoby survived the session, and it is safe to say that by then, he was no longer beckoning Azim in.
Azim demonstrated in the 12th that he was not in the mood to let Scoby get away with it. This week, Scoby had been berating Azim, arguing with him at the press conference, confronting him at the hotel, and at the public workout.
Azim turned the screws to do this, rather than just relaxing. Scoby could only drop to one knee as he fired with both fists, truly beginning to break him apart with a stunning variety. Referee Howard Foster called it off after 2-01 of the 12th, although he rose unhappy.
ANTHONY JOSHUA DELIVERS BOLD MESSAGE AHEAD OF JAKE PAUL SHOWDOWN
Anthony Joshua has been warned he's crossed a line by agreeing to fight Jake Paul. The former heavyweight champion will face the YouTuber in a professional bout, with David Haye calling it a "massive step too far."

By agreeing to fight Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua has been cautioned that he has gone too far.
On December 19, Joshua, a former heavyweight world champion, will face YouTuber Paul in Miami. Paul's crew is scheduled to travel to London in order to finalise the fight, which is anticipated to be approved as a professional fight. The fight is scheduled to last eight three-minute rounds, and both fighters will be wearing legal 10-ounce gloves.
Since being severely knocked out by Daniel Dubois in September of last year, Joshua has not competed. After the social media star's exhibition with lightweight world champion Gervonta Davis was cancelled, he decided to take on Paul instead of making a quiet comeback to the ring before Christmas. The battle, which will be televised on Netflix, is predicted to bring in at least £50 million for the British national.
Twelve months ago, Paul controversially defeated a 58-year-old Mike Tyson, padding his record by sparring with former MMA giants. He may be three stone weight less than Brit Joshua because he has mostly fought at cruiserweight. When the American met Tommy Fury in 2023, it was his only fight against a boxing peer, and he lost.
Furthermore, according to former two-weight world champion David Haye, Joshua needs to easily defeat Paul to give the bout the appearance of legitimacy. "It is obvious that this is a huge step too far," he stated. However, anything is possible in this day and age. Joshua is under a lot of pressure. In addition to winning, he must do it cleanly.
"If he is being beaten, slashed, dropped, or injured, Jake Paul has won the moral argument. If he fights Anthony Joshua in a boxing ring, it will be detrimental to his health. It will be very difficult to even make it to the second round by sprinting around.
Joshua should have an easy night's work, but you have to give Paul credit if he manages to smack him in the face because, on paper, he has absolutely no business there. Perhaps, though, he really thinks he can win.
"It is not about that; it is about his legacy, and he wants to take on one of the world's top heavyweights." "He has earned enough money."Who could blame Anthony Joshua for knocking out Jake Paul?
MIKE TYSON FINALLY REVEALS THE PUNCH THAT SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING
Mike Tyson's legendary career saw him become the youngest heavyweight champ at 20. He faced greats like Holyfield & Lewis, but named Donovan "Razor" Ruddock as his hardest-hitting opponent. Discover Tyson's comeback fights and life after boxing.

In the past, Mike Tyson was well-known for his fierce speed and strength in the boxing ring. In 1986, at the age of 20 years and 145 days, he defeated Trevor Berbick to capture the WBC heavyweight title in his 28th fight, making him the youngest fighter in history to do so.
After defeating James "Bonecrusher" Smith to win the WBA heavyweight title, Iron Mike defeated Tony Tucker to capture the IBF title and become the undisputed champion at the age of 21.
The Notable Boxing Career of Mike Tyson
There were plenty of heavy-hitters during the heyday of heavyweight boxing, which Tyson fought in. The greatest of them, including Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield, and Lennox Lewis, were in the same ring as him. Iron Mike's career began with a 19-fight knockout streak, propelling the Brooklyn-born boxer into the record books and dominating the heavyweight scene before suffering a shocking knockout loss to James "Buster" Douglas in Tokyo.
Even though he had been knocked out by Douglas, Lewis, and Danny Williams, Tyson acknowledged that a different opponent had struck him the hardest: Donovan "Razor" Ruddock, a Canadian, boxed Iron Mike for 19 rounds over two matches. Known for being heavy-handed, the hard-hitting Canadian is likely the reason Tyson labelled him the man who made him feel "numb" when he experienced his strength.
Tyson recalled the strength in Ruddock's gloves and thought back on his previous opponents in a CNN interview, saying: "Yes, Ray Ruddock … You are referring to that moment when you thought,' Whoa." When you are struck, the pain stops. It is simply numb. Bong, you just heard the bell ring.
Ruddock, who was born in Jamaica, had a streak of infamous knockout wins, the most well-known of which may have been against Michael Dokes. Ruddock used two crushing left hooks to knock his opponent down after a haymaker propped Dokes still on the ropes. In addition to winning the WBA intercontinental championship that evening, Ruddock would go on to win the IBC heavyweight title in 1992 after knocking out Phil Jackson in Cleveland, Ohio.
Mike Tyson's Comeback to Boxing and Upcoming Battles
In November of last year, Tyson briefly returned to the ring when he faced YouTuber Jake Paul in an exhibition match at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. After eight rounds of fighting, Paul won by unanimous decision against Tyson. Iron Mike's career in boxing is also far from over, as he will return to the ring in spring 2026 to take on Floyd Mayweather Jr. in another exhibition bout at an undetermined location.
Fortunately, Tyson no longer has to contend with opponents that possess the strength of Donovan Ruddock. He now enjoys a semi-retired lifestyle from fighting while concentrating on his company, Carma HoldCo, which specialises in cannabis products and promotes the legalisation of marijuana. Iron Mike Tyson has not completely died in boxing yet, so the allure of the glitz and glamour surrounding the big nights is still too strong for the former champion to ignore.
