Both the EBU and the BBBofC have jointly ordered Dalton Smith (15-0, 11 KOs) to face Adam Azim (11-0, 8 KOs) next.
Smith is the mandatory challenger for Azim’s European title and Azim is the official challenger for Smith’s Lonsdale championship.
However, the fight doesn’t look like it’s going to materialise.
“They’ve already confirmed they’re not taking the fight,” Smith’s promoter Eddie Hearn told iFL TV, “I find it quite insulting to Dalton Smith that they’d even mess around.”
“If you had no intention of taking the fight, why wait to pull out? What are you gonna do, pull out on the day of the bid? F**king marvellous.”
Hearn is confident the Azim side will pull out of the fight despite him offering to do the fight on Azim’s platform.
Adam Azim Offered Prospect By Hearn
Hearn has now instead offered 21-year-old Azim another 21-year-old prospect.
“I’ve got a great fight for Adam Azim. Once he pulls out of the Dalton Smith fight…Cameron Vuong against Adam Azim.”
“Massive fight for the North East/the Midlands, wherever you want to do it. If Cameron Vuong beats Jordan Flynn in Manchester, that is the fight we want to make.”
Vuong, managed by Sam Jones, takes on undefeated Flynn on the April 13 Zelfa Barrett-Jordan Gill undercard.
The former amateur national champion is moving at an incredible pace, having made his debut in October and has already had four fight, stepping up to face 9-0 Flynn on April 13.
