IBO cruiserweight champion Juergen Uldedaj makes his first title defense Saturday night against Austine Nnamdi at Wembley Arena in London. The Albanian Uldedaj is 21-1, having picked up the vacant title with an October win over Rolly Lambert Fogoum. This would appear to be a soft first defense as the Nigerian-born Nnamdi is just 14-6 for his career. To his credit, however, Nnamdi is coming off a win over Callum Johnson, who once had world champion Artur Beterbiev down on the canvas in an unsuccessful 2018 light heavyweight title bid.  The event will be broadcast live and free-to-air on BBC Two & BBC iPlayer with a main event of Adam Azim vs. Steve Claggett 

 

At just 23 years of age, Azim is a British-Pakistani boxer on a fast track to world title success. He's 14-0 and already a former IBO and European title holder. He's returning to Wembley, where he announced himself on the world stage last year with a win over former champion Sergey Lipinets. 

 

The Canadian Claggett stepped in weeks ago following the withdrawal of Gustavo Lemos. Azim and Lemos were originally scheduled to meet in January, but the bout was postponed after both fighters suffered injuries in training, with Lemos later withdrawing from the rescheduled contest.
