Petitjean and Signani to defend European titles on same show

Young wolf Adam Azim (9-0, 6 KOs) heads to Wolverhampton, England on Saturday, November 18th to sink his teeth into European junior welterweight champion Franck Petitjean (24-6-3, 6 KOs), live and exclusive on Sky Sports. Having been guided by Boxxer, the 21 year-old Azim is gunning for European gold in just his tenth professional bout. If victorious, he will follow in the footsteps of his oft-cited inspiration Naseem Hamed in winning an EBU title while barely into his twenties. After winning the French national championship and mounting three successful defenses, southpaw Petitjean successfully stepped up to European level for his first stint as EBU 140-pound king. He then challenged Mohamed Mimoune for the IBO world title in 2018, losing by decision. He reclaimed the EBU title in June this year and will make the first defense of his second reign against Azim on November 18th. Also entering the wolf’s lair on November 18th is European middleweight champion Matteo Signani (32-6-3, 12 KOs). Signani will defend his title against the Black Country’s own Tyler Denny (17-2, 3 KOs), who hails from nearby Birmingham and will have an enormous wolfpack of supporters behind him when he enters the ring.
