Azeez targets world title after becoming European champion
It’s another remarkable feat for Dan Azeez on Saturday night after triumphing over Thomas Faure in an epic battle to win the European light-heavyweight title.
War of jabs and fists, the Nigerian-descent British Boxer was determined to make the best of event at Zenith de Paris.
He stopped Faure in the final round 12 of the fight after relatively sharing the credits of the show with his opponent on his own home soil, albeit with Brits getting the best of counts.
The European title is the latest achievement for Azeez, who has previously won Southern Area, English, British and Commonwealth titles -all to his blistering career.
Speaking after the fight, he said “Step by step I am climbing the ladder,” he said. “British, Commonwealth, European and now it’s the world.”
He will be looking forward to yet another bouts as he continues his quest for a global relevance.
