Ryan Garcia or Devin Haney: British champion targets American mega fightGettyImages
There could be a huge event at 140lbs.

Adam Azim is aiming to be a world champion this year.

The super lightweight champion is now the division’s European champion, and in a division that boasts talents such as Teofimo Lopez, Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney, it will not be easy to land a world title strap.

Discussing Lopez and Garcia, Azim told Sky Sports: "I feel like them two are my big opportunity fights, big massive fights, either in the USA or even here.

"I think I'll fight [Lopez] sooner or later. He's got the world title and hopefully I can take that world title off him."

However he is also ready for Haney, he believes.

He explained: "If I had one person to fight I think I would fight Haney. He's skilful. I think I'd beat him. I think I'd be too fast for him. I'd be too fast and powerful for him.

"He doesn't like boxers. He likes people that come at him," Azim added. "I think he lost that fight [to Vasiliy Lomachenko] in my opinion.

"Lomachenko was just levels above and too good for him."
