Azim claims superior fitness ahead of Claggett showdown

Adam Azim has dismissed concerns about his conditioning going into his clash with Steve Claggett, insisting he will outlast the Canadian over the distance.

“[Claggett] doesn't realise my gas tank is probably better than his gas tank. I'm telling you right now, I'm the fittest guy in a boxing ring. You're not going to get anyone fitter than me”

What Adam Azim said

The lightweight/" class="internal-link text-bone underline decoration-ash/30 hover:decoration-gold underline-offset-2">light welterweight prospect faces Claggett in a test of his championship credentials. Azim has built his reputation on fast starts, but Claggett's durability could force him into deeper waters than he has previously navigated at this level.

What it moves

Azim's confidence in his stamina suggests he is prepared for a full twelve rounds if needed. Claggett, known for his workrate, is likely to push the pace from the opening bell to test whether Azim's claim holds up under pressure.
