Lemos, a 29-year-old from Argentina, should provide a stiff test. He gave Richardson Hitchins the toughest fight of his career in April 2024 during a unanimous decision defeat that many believed he won.
Another compelling clash has been added to the boxing calendar on Jan. 31.
Junior welterweight contender Adam Azim will take on Gustavo Lemos at Copper Box Arena in London to headline a Boxxer card on BBC Two, it was announced Saturday.
“The Assassin” Azim (14-0, 11 KOs) last fought on Nov. 15 and scored a 12th-round stoppage win against Kurt Scoby. It was another impressive result for the 23-year-old Brit, who’d also knocked out Sergey Lipinets and Ohara Davies in his previous two fights. Azim is The Ring’s No. 8 140-pounder and had been slated since last month for the quick turnaround date.
Lemos (30-2, 20 KOs), a 29-year-old from Argentina, should provide a stiff test. He gave Richardson Hitchins the toughest fight of his career in April 2024 during a unanimous decision defeat that many believed he won.
Lemos leveraged the solid showcase into a fight against Keyshawn Davis seven months later, but he missed the lightweight limit by 6.4 pounds. The lack of preparation carried over into the clash, and he was stopped by Davis in the second round.
Lemos has since gotten back into the win column with a sixth-round stoppage win against Miguel Angel Bolano in Argentina.
It'll be a busy Jan. 31 with notable events around the world, including:
