Azim claims Claggett underestimates his conditioning ahead of clash

Adam Azim has fired back at Steve Claggett over questions about his stamina, insisting the Canadian has misjudged his fitness levels ahead of their light welterweight bout.

“[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

Azim meets Claggett in a contest that will test the unbeaten Briton's credentials at light welterweight. The conditioning debate has emerged as a talking point in the build-up, with Claggett suggesting Azim might struggle over the championship distance.

What it moves

Azim's claim sets up a test of durability when the pair meet. Claggett has built a reputation for late-round pressure, so the stamina question will likely be settled in the ring rather than at the microphone.
