London, UK – Monday 13th July 2026 – BOXXER is delighted to announce that unbeaten super welterweight Hassan Azim has signed a new long-term promotional agreement ahead of his tenth professional contest on Saturday, August 8 at the First Direct Bank Arena in Leeds, live on DAZN worldwide.
The former Youth Olympic bronze medallist has compiled an impressive 9-0 record since joining the professional ranks, most recently stopping Sean Murray inside the distance at London’s Copper Box Arena in January this year.
With his long-term future secured under the BOXXER banner, Azim, the older brother of top super lightweight contender Adam Azim, will return to action next month against former Southern Area champion Jack Martin in an eight-round contest.
The bout features as part of a blockbuster night of boxing in Leeds, headlined by the highly anticipated rematch between Troy Williamson and Callum Simpson, with Azim looking to make another statement against the most experienced opponent of his professional career.
Hassan Azim said: “I’m really pleased to be extending my deal with BOXXER. They’ve believed in me from the start, given me the platform to develop and I feel like we’re only just getting started. I’m improving every time I step into the ring and I know there’s a lot more to come. Right now, my full focus is on August 8. It’s another chance to show what I’m about and take another step forward towards where I belong.”
BOXXER Founder and CEO Ben Shalom said: “Hassan is an exceptional talent and we’re delighted that he has committed his future to BOXXER. We’ve believed in him from the very beginning and there’s no doubt he has all the ability to become a major force in the super welterweight division. He’s unbeaten, hungry and ready to make a statement.”
Williamson vs Simpson II, featuring Azim vs Torres, is presented in association with BOXXER’s official partners Betfred, Riyadh Season, That Prize Guy, Champion and IFX Payments.
