Adam Azim believes he’ll stop Sergey Lipinets in the first half of their upcoming fight.

As Adam Azim readies for his upcoming fight against Sergey Lipinets on February 1, he’s anticipating a short night of work in London as he predicts an early stoppage of his opponent.

In his last appearance Azim managed to score an eighth round knockout of Ohara Davies and his confidence has only grown since then.

“One to five rounds, knockout,” Azim said when asked for his pre-fight prediction. “He’s a great fighter, a good fighter, but all due respect to him, I’m going to end his career on the day.”

Azim would continue to say that Lipinets has never faced an opponent like him before and that this will be the year that he establishes himself on the world stage and prove himself to be an elite-level fighter.

Meanwhile Lipinets has had mixed results over his past five fights which included a draw against Custio Clayton, a stoppage loss to Jaron Ennis, a TKO win over Omar Figueroa Jr, a decision loss to Michel Rivera, and most recently a decision win over Robbie Davies Jr.
