- Adam Azim Withdraws From Sky Sports Main Event Slot Due To Injury
- Frazer Clarke vs Mariusz Wach Now Headlines York Hall Bill This Friday Night
- Caroline Dubois Faces World #2 Yanina Lescano In The Co-Feature
Adam Azim was supposed to face Ukraine’s Aram Fanyan this Friday night, but the 20-year-old British prospect has been forced to withdraw from the bout due to a hand infection, as first reported by
NoSmokeSport.com.
2020 Olympic bronze medalist
Frazer Clarke (6-0, 5 KOs) will now step in to main event the bill this
Friday, June 16 at the
York Hall, Bethnal Green, live on
Sky Sports.
Clarke faces Poland’s vastly experienced
Mariusz Wach (37-9, 20 KOs) over eight rounds at Heavyweight. 43-year-old Wach has entered the squared circle 46 times in a career dating back 18 years.
The Pole has only been stopped once in recent years at the hands of the highly-rated Arslanbek Makhmudov. An inside-the-distance win for Clarke would be impressive but BOXXER is also keen for the 31-year-old to get some much-needed rounds under his belt.
Caroline Dubois (6-0, 5 KOs), who also boxed at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, takes a sizeable jump in opposition as she meets Argentina’s
Yanina Lescano (13-2, 4 KOs).
Lescano, who holds a win over WBA #1 Maira Moneo, suffered a tight points defeat to Estelle Mossely in Dubai last year. If Dubois can beat the South American, who is widely considered a top 5 Lightweight, handily, the only next step from that would be a title shot for the 22-year-old.
