Adam Azim paid tribute to those affected by the recent earthquake in Syria and Turkey after his victory over Santos Reyes.
The unbeaten English fighter took his Nicaraguan opponent’s zero on Saturday night, and while he was content with his performance, he first noted the ongoing effects of the disaster putting his fight into perspective.
"There's an earthquake going on. I'd like to take a moment to say that my heart goes out to them,” he told Sky Sports.
"I rate my performance, probably like an eight out of 10. He was very tough.
"After the first shot I landed on him and he dropped, I thought he was gone.
"I landed that right on the button."
His trainer, Shane McGuigan, was similarly pleased.
"It was definitely what we wanted,” he said.
"We got a knockdown, he got rounds, he got experience. He got a guy that had a tight guard and pushed him back.
"He learnt how to pace the rounds as well, so these are all the things we're doing in the gym but actually got to showcase on the live stage."
