Adam Azim discusses Amir Khan advice ahead of world championship ambitionsDAZN

Adam Azim is aiming for a world title fight in 2023.

The 20-year-old light welterweight fighter fought five times in the last year, winning each of them by stoppage.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Azim said he expects more high profile fights.

"We're going to see what my team has in store for me. Next year is definitely going to be a lot of title shots and title fights, a lot more great nights," he explained.

Azim will look to Amir Khan - who became a world champion aged 22 - for advice.

"Amir Khan has paved the way for British Asians in boxing. He's such a lovely guy. I've spent a lot of time with now," he added.

"He tells me what he did in training, he tells me different types of stuff to do in training, what he used to do when he was younger.

"He's been in massive fights, like [Marcos] Maidana, [Devon] Alexander, he's fought in so many big fights and he can give me advice in future in my career."
