The Adam Azim next fight sees the undefeated super-lightweight prospect take on former world champion Sergey Lipinets. After his next fight, could we see ‘The Assassin’ in the ring with fellow unbeaten English fighter Dalton Smith in early 2025.
Adam Azim Next Fight: ‘The Assassin’ Faces Former World Champion Sergey Lipinets In Huge Step Up
Adam Azim was last in action on October 19th as he defeated Ohara Davies via eighth round knockout to retain his European Super-Lightweight Title. As we head into 2025, various names are being thrown about as potential opponents for Adam Azim’s next fight.
‘The Assassin’ has quickly become one of the Sky Sports’ biggest assets in the past year or so. The 22-year-old is already the EBU champion at 140-pounds, despite having just had 12 fights. Adam Azim’s record sits at an impressive 12-0, with nine big wins coming via knockout.
Heading into 2025, it looks like next year could be the biggest of Azim’s career yet. This could mean huge domestic clashes with the likes of Harlem Eubank or Dalton Smith, or potentially even a shot at world honours before the end of next year. Time will tell what Azim’s next move is.
In regards to his next fight, it was announced in early December that Azim will face former world champion Sergey Lipinets on February 1st at the OVO Arena, Wembley, London. This fight is a huger step up for Azim, facing a man who has been in with some of the best fighters of the past decade.
The Adam Azim next fight is certainly another step up from the Ohara Davies clash, as he looks to cement himself as one of the best 140-pound fighters in the world. Adding the name of a former world champion to his resumé would be a huge statement from the 22-year-old, especially at this stage of his career.
No matter who is in the opposite corner, ‘The Assassin’ will likely go in as the overriding favourite with the best betting apps in the UK to be victorious anyway. He really is that good.

Could Adam Azim’s Next Fight Be Against Dalton Smith In Summer 2025?
Should Adam Azim’s next fight go to plan against Sergey Lipinets, then all roads could lead to the Dalton Smith clash in the summer. This seems like the obvious fight to make for both Azim and Smith, both of who have their eyes on world honours within the next 12-18 months.
The Azim vs Smith fight has been talked about at length by promoters Ben Shalom and Eddie Hearn over the past six months. Smith’s promoter Eddie Hearn has slammed Team Azim for ‘ducking’ his man, but 2025 could be the year where Adam Azim vs Dalton Smith finally happens next year.
The other alternative would of course to be to let it brew for another few years and fight down the line for multiple world titles. Another option for Adam Azim’s next fight could be fights against the likes of Harlem Eubank or even Josh Taylor, if Team Azim are willing to take that risk.
If His Excellency Turki Alalshikh continues with his heavy involvement in boxing, Adam Azim could be a name to feature on the Riyadh Season cards going forward. Now that Ben Shalom and Boxxer are working alongside the Saudis, this is a real possibility.
The best boxing betting sites in the UK will likely favour Azim going forward, no matter who he faces below world level. However, these big fights are all meaningless if Azim’s next fight doesn’t result in another win and another impressive performance.
Time will tell who Adam Azim’s next fight is against after his upcoming Lipinets clash. Although he is just 12-0, a world title shot might not be too far away for ‘The Assassin’.
