Adam Azim will face Gabriel Gollaz Valenzuela at London’s Copper Box Arena on December 4, according to reports.

Azim, 15-0 (12 KOs), hasn’t fought since May, when he stopped Steve Claggett in three rounds. The Boxxer-promoted junior welterweight also fought only twice in 2025 and has struggled for real momentum since stopping Sergey Lipinets in February last year.

This bout with Valenzuela could change that, with an IBF title shot reportedly awaiting the winner. Azim is ranked fourth at 140lbs by the sanctioning body, with Valenzuela two places behind.

The belt will remain vacant, however, after the proposed championship bout between Lindolfo Delgado and Arthur Biyarslanov was pulled from this weekend’s Christian Mbilli-Canelo Alvarez card in Saudi Arabia.

Valenzuela, eight years older than Azim at 32, has come up short in eliminators before. He was beaten by Subriel Matias (TKO 8) and Delgado (SD 12) last year, though he did score a knockdown against the latter in the final round.

Since then, he has knocked out Rogelio Jimenez Laguna in seven rounds in May to take his record to 32-5-1 (18 KOs).

Azim, a professional since 2020, has won each of his last six fights inside the distance and continues to be linked with Dalton Smith, the WBC champion and his British rival.
