One of the notable matchups on the undercard of the rematch between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn on November 15 in London has fallen off.

The Ring has learned that Zaur Abdullaev (20-2, 12 KOs) has withdrawn from his fight against junior welterweight upstart Adam Azim (13-0, 10 KOs) because of an issue obtaining a visa. Abdullaev has chosen not to move forward with the fight, but Azim will remain on the card against an opponent that will soon be determined.

Azim, a 23-year-old from Berkshire, United Kingdom, is looking to further build momentum on his burgeoning career following back-to-back knockout wins against Ohara Davies in October of last year and Sergey Lipinets in February.

Abdullaev, meanwhile, was looking to get back into the win column after dropping a unanimous decision against Raymond Muratalla in May for the interim IBF lightweight title. Muratalla has since been elevated to be the full champion.

Abdullaev's loss to Muratalla ended a winning streak at nine fights. The only other defeat of the 31-year-old Russian's career came against Devin Haney via fourth-round stoppage in 2019.
