A few words with British light heavyweight Dan Azeez

English light heavyweigh title holder Dan Azeez expects fireworks when he defends against Ricky Summers on Saturday’s MTK Fight Night at the University of Bolton Stadium this weekend, live on IFL TV. Azeez (12-0, 8 KOs) puts his belt on the line against Summers (17-2-1, 6 KOs) who has previously lost a challenge for the British title. Azeez is confident he has the tools to nullify his opponent, and here is what he had to say: “The British light-heavyweight domestic scene has been thriving. The top 10 is very competitive, and since I’ve turned professional the aim is to climb the ladder and keep getting titles. Ricky Summers has mixed it at British title level, and I’m trying to reach that level. He presents his own dangers and has got experience over me, but my job is to nullify that and walk right through him. I envisage the fight being an entertaining one. Ricky is a come forward fighter and hopefully it sets alight. Both of us can punch and we are strong light-heavyweights, so I expect fireworks and a good old English domestic dust-up.”
 
In the main event on Saturday’s card, middleweight Danny Dignum is up against Russian import Andrey Sirotkin,
