Adam Azim vs Kurt Scoby: Preview & Betting Tips

British boxing prodigy Adam “The Assassin” Azim returns to the ring in what promises to be the biggest test of his career so far in a showdown with the American Kurt Scoby.

Azim (13-0, 10 KO’s) is one of Britain’s brightest boxing prospects and has been groomed for stardom since turning professional at just 18. He’s fast, flashy, and ferociously confident. The Slough-born fighter combines lightning hand speed with an instinct for spectacular knockouts.

Scoby (18-1, 16 KO’s) is not coming to play the role of a stepping stone. The New Yorker brings a rugged, come-forward style forged in the American amateur scene.

Adam Azim vs Kurt Scoby: Analysis

This fight could hinge on Azim’s ability to control range and tempo. When he uses his jab and lateral movement, he looks like a future world champion. Scoby’s goal will be to close the distance, test Azim’s composure under fire, and turn the contest into a rough, physical battle.

Azim’s last few performances suggest maturity with less showboating and more patience. If he maintains that discipline, he should be able to pick Scoby off with quick combinations and eventually break him down. But if Scoby can cut off the ring and make it a dogfight, Azim’s chin and stamina could be tested for the first time.

Azim vs Scoby: Prediction & Betting Tips

Adam Azim is the A-side for a reason. He’s younger, faster, and technically sharper. But Kurt Scoby’s aggression and power make him a dangerous underdog who could expose any complacency. I expect a fast-paced start, with Scoby pressing forward and Azim looking to counter.

Ultimately, Azim’s speed and shot selection should see him pull away as the rounds progress, setting up a late stoppage or a wide points win. If he passes this test in style, the talk of European titles and world rankings will only grow louder.

For the safe option, take Adam Azim to win by KO/TKO at odds of 1.44 . But if you’re wanting a selection at longer odds, look at round group betting. My slightly more risky selection is Adam Azim to win in rounds 6-10 at odds of 2.88 .
