British boxer Adam Azim (14-0, 11 KOs) faces Canadian world title contender Steve Claggett (40-8-2, 28 KOs) over 12-rounds at super-lightweight, this Saturday night, May 30, at the OVO Arena, Wembley, live on BBC 2.
‘The Dragon’ from Calgary has knocked out his last two opponents in rounds four and two, respectively. Prior to that, he was widely outpointed by Teofimo Lopez in their 2024 WBO World super-lightweight title fight in Miami.
He earned that shot by reeling off nine wins in a row, seven via KO. Claggett is a seasoned contender with bags of experience.
Now 36, he has accumulated losses against former IBO champion Chris van Heerden, who was blasted away in two rounds by Conor Benn, and Mathieu Germain, who was dropped three times by Dalton Smith.
‘The Assassin’ Azim has an unbeaten record with a 78.57% KO ratio, just slightly higher than Claggett’s 70% score.
The 24-year-old has defeated the likes of WBA Interim title contender Ohara Davies (KO-8), former IBF champ Sergey Lipinets (TKO-9), and Kurt Scoby (TKO-12) in his last three outings. Prior to that he won back-to-back European title bouts, also by knockout.
Since stepping up to 12-round championship contests, the Slough stylist has stopped all five of his opponents, averaging a knockout every 8.8 rounds.
Azim is ranked 7th with the IBF and WBO, Claggett is placed just outside of the top 15.
Claggett has only been stopped once in 50 contests and that was over 15 years ago, so the Canadian is a tough cookie. He took so many big shots from Teofimo Lopez, and the world champion was throwing some big uppercuts and hooks, but never even looked like going down.
He is bound to put Azim under a lot of intense pressure with his in-fighting style, but ‘The Dragon’ is going to catch a lot of fire in return. The Canadian likes to go head-to-head and trade; totally opposite to the unbeaten Brit.
Azim is 12 years his junior and fresh as a daisy. He is sharp and slick, his jab is as fast as the likes of Amir Khan. His feet are quick too, his ability to shift his weight into big hooks and uppercuts is phenomenal, such a joy to watch. He doesn’t possess huge power, but he has enough sting in his shots to hurt his opponents over time; four of his last five stoppages all came in the second half. Due to his speed, he scores a lot of flash knockdowns where he catches opponents off-balance, advancing forwards, and often because they’re opening up and caught quicker to the punch.
I fully believe that Claggett will bring the heat and intensity, but for Azim’s slick skills, particularly his fast, clever footwork and swift jab, to keep the pressure-fighter at bay, so he can land his shots from range without catching too much back.
After a few rounds of this, I can see Azim growing in confidence and increasing shot selections until Claggett has been softened up enough for an early finish. It’s very likely it could go to the bell, knowing just how tough Claggett is, but his style is there for hitting and Azim is a sharp-shooter!
Prediction: Azim to win
Extra Tip: Azim by KO/TKO rounds 7-12

Tim Rickson is the WhichBookie boxing analyst who joined the team midway through 2022 and will be providing boxing betting tips throughout the year for all of the big fights.
All of the boxing tips currently published on WhichBookie are completely free of charge. Remember to check back regularly and subscribe to our social media channels to be notified of when new free boxing tips are published.
Yes. All tips remain live here on WhichBookie. You can view all past boxing tips here on this page.
If you’d like to back any of the selections, we recommend a bookmaker to do so with. These are usually the bookies offering the best odds on the selection at the time of posting the tip but it may be worth checking other bookies in case the odds have changed. There may also be betting offers associated with the tip that are only available with specific bookmakers that are worth taking into consideration.
We never recommend an actual stake to use for each bet as this will vary between people depending on the size of their betting bank. Never bet more than you can afford to lose and always stick to your staking plan.
WhichBookie boxing analyst Tim Rickson will publish tips whenever he finds value in a bet. If there is a big fight coming up, it’s likely that he will cover it but generally, they’ll be posted whenever a good bet comes about.
Many of the big boxing matches are only available via Pay Per View. However, you may be able to find streams of some of the less-popular fights via the Bet365 Live Streaming service. Bet365 provides over 100,000 live streams of sporting events every year and is regarded as one of the best services for streaming sports online without charge.
There are several options when it comes to betting on boxing, and the more you know, the better your chances of success. We will now go into more detail about some of the different betting markets that you will find, and discuss a few potential strategies you could use.
As with most sports, the outright market is probably the simplest, because you’re just betting on who will win the fight. There are no other criteria to consider, other than the fact that with many of the best bookies for boxing, you can also bet on the draw. However, draws in boxing are very rare and not many people tend to back this outcome.
Bear in mind that in many fights, one boxer tends to be a heavy favourite and it’s usually quite easy to pick the winner. There don’t tend to be that many shock results. Therefore, the odds on the favourite are often very low, even if you use the bookie with the best odds as described earlier in the article.
If you’re happy betting at short odds, you can certainly get a good success rate simply by backing short price favourites in boxing. But many people prefer to look for bigger wins. So you may sometimes need to look at some of the other markets to get a better return on your bet.
This market lets you choose not only who will win the fight, but how they will win. Different methods of victory are usually grouped as follows:
So because there are more possible outcomes in this market, the odds are higher than just the outright win market.
The Round Betting market offers the opportunity to get the highest odds. Here you can bet on which fighter will win, and which round he/she will win in.
Options to bet on a fighter to win on points, or to bet on the draw, are both also included in this market. In a 12 round bout, that gives 27 different possible outcomes. Therefore, the odds on each one are naturally going to be much higher. Think of it as the equivalent of the correct score market in football betting.
So the round betting market offers the biggest potential wins when betting on boxing. But of course, it’s harder to predict the outcome. You do have the option to split your stake to cover more than one outcome though. So if you felt that a fighter would win within the first 3 rounds, you could split your stake to back him to win in round 1, round 2 and round 3. The odds would mean you’d get a good profit if any of those outcomes happened.
This is a simple market in which you decide whether the fight will last all 12 rounds or not. Therefore there are only two outcomes to bet on, Yes or No.
It’s possible to get a decent success rate when betting on this market. Check the stats and the history of each boxer and ask yourself the following:
The answers to these key questions should give you a good idea of whether the fight is likely to go the distance or not. There can still be surprises, but you’ll certainly win more bets than you lose.
This market allows you to bet on the total number of rounds the fight will last for. The advantage here is that you do not need to specify who will win, just how long it will last.
For example, let’s consider a market of Over/Under 3.5 Rounds. There are only two options to bet on, either Over 3.5 Rounds or Under 3.5 Rounds. Therefore, you would approach the market as follows:
You will find that similar markets are available for Over/under 4.5, Over/Under 5.5, Over/Under 6.5 etc.
As any professional punter will tell you, the key to making a profit is not knowing who will win every time. Because obviously, that is not possible. The real trick is making sure that when you do win, you get the best possible odds on your bet.
We studied the odds for outright bets on every professional boxing match over a period of three months. We wanted to find the best bookies for boxing odds over a prolonged period of time.
As you would expect, Betfair and Bet365 are better than most of the competition. But the results showed that Betfred have the highest odds overall and came out well in some of the other markets like round betting.
Betfred were consistently best or equal best odds on nearly every outright market we recorded. They blew some of the other online bookies away in terms of the value they offered on boxing, and their user ratings are good too. So if you don’t have an account with them yet, we would definitely recommend joining.
