ANH boxing has something very special in Adam Azim. 20-year-old ultra-lightweight boxer Slough was not at all surprised when he was given main event status in the Sky Sports TV Boxxer promotion at Alexandra Palace, destroying Rylan Charlton in two rounds.

The muscular Charlton kept his defense high but simply couldn’t cope with the speed and variety of his opponents, who darted intelligently into his body and then headed back up the stairs. Halfway through the goal, a header from the right to the top of his head knocked Charlton (Norwich) off his feet before a left-right shot sent him to one knee.
A massive left headbutt knocked him down another eight counts and although he survived the session, the finish quickly came in the second half. Azim throws a right cross to Charlton’s left, hitting the side of his head and sending him crashing into the ropes, then falling. Referee Chas Coakley waved his hand shortly after 42 seconds and the match was declared a knockout.
Also ending early was the 12-round battle for the empty British cruiser class that was witnessed Mikael Lawal crowned when David Jamieson retired with a broken jaw after the eighth.
Jamieson, from East Kilbride, arrived in just 10 days and posed for Lawal a lot of his sheer physical problems, often pushing Shepherds Bush’s man back on the ropes. But Lawal boasts better technique along with deeper digging and more shooting patterns, and it looks like there will be a couple of rounds at the end.
Uppercuts scored well for the Londoner throughout the game and when a left hook gave Jamieson a sixth-half win, it looked like the Scot was down.

It seemed like the scorecard might not be needed as in the sixth round, Robinson (Ruislip) stepped to the right side crunching causing him to fall hard. He survived the session and was never in big trouble again, but that shows the difference in strength between the two.
Gilley also has the edge in skill, using his long limbs to steer the action as he starts trading in the third round. He scored with a jab, knocking out the challenger with a left hook late in the fourth round and as Robinson took advantage of more opportunities in the ensuing rounds, he delivered a sharp punch. sharp.
An engaging super-average 10 inning between Lerrone Richards and Zak Chelli fell through when, after the previous day’s weigh-in, Richards returned to his hotel and injured his head from a fall.
And there are strange scenes when the heavyweights Jamie Tshikeva (Tottenham) and Joel Ducille (Birmimgham) entered the ring for their sixth round after the main event – only had to go out again because the necessary ambulance was not at the venue (both Jamieson and Charlton were taken to hospital after the defeat) their).
