Adam Azim

Adam Azim’s first fight of 2025 is set against former world champion Sergey Lipinets for the IBO title. At 22, he looks ready for this challenge.

In his last fight, he dominated Ohara Davies. He outboxed him completely and scored a knockout in the 8th round. It was his best performance so far.

In 2024, he was supposed to fight Harlem Eubank, but an injury canceled the bout. Azim is one of the most exciting young boxers in the super lightweight division.

He has beaten experienced fighters like Rylan Charlton, Santos Reyes, and Aram Faniian by unanimous decision. His early-round finishes include wins over Jordan Ellison, Stu Greener, and Michel Daniel Cabral.

Sergey Lipinets

Sergey Lipinets, known as “The Sniper,” recently beat Robbie Davies Jr. by unanimous decision.

In 2022, he fought Omar Figueroa Jr. for the vacant WBC Silver Super Lightweight Title. Lipinets won by corner stoppage in the eighth round. His professional record is 13 wins, 3 losses, and 1 draw.

His last loss was in late 2023 to Michel Rivera by unanimous decision. After that, he defeated Robbie Davies Jr. in the Wednesday Night Fight main event, winning by unanimous decision.

The draw came in a fight against Custio Clayton for the vacant Interim IBF World Welterweight Title. He later lost to Jaron Ennis.

Lipinets has also fought top fighters like Lamont Peterson, Erick Bone, and Akihiro Kondo. In 2018, he challenged Mikey Garcia for the WBC World Super Lightweight Title but lost by unanimous decision.

Keys to Victory

Adam Azim`s Path to Success

Adam Azim is the more experienced and exciting fighter. He has beaten quality opponents like Ohara Davies, Enock Poulsen, and Franck Petitjean, showing impressive knockout power. He will likely use the same strategy in his next fight. He won’t leave the result to the judges.

Sergey Lipinets`s Path to Success

Sergey Lipinets will try to use the same strategy he used against Akihiro Kondo in 2017. He’s known for making a strong impact in every fight, and this one will be no different. Lipinets must apply lessons from his loss to Mikey Garcia. If he doesn’t finish the fight early, he won’t stand a chance against Azim, who won’t rely on the judges. Lipinets has more experience in title bouts, and that will play a big role in this fight against the young star.

Final Prediction

Azim seems to be the busier fighter in the ring, but Lipinets’ consistency and skill make this matchup interesting. While the fight is highly anticipated, I’d favor Azim over Lipinets. He has a speed advantage and good power.

He is also younger and fresher with a big edge in height, reach, power, and skill. The 23-year-old boxer has shown he can box and move, like in his last three fights. He’ll need to avoid getting caught by Lipinets’ counters and clinches.

Azim is the clear favorite here. He should be able to secure a knockout within the first six rounds.
