There must be something in the light heavyweight water in this country. Dan Azeez joins Anthony Yarde, Joshua Boatsi, Craig Richards and Callum Smith in a British cohort the envy of the world.
Azeez models himself on Marvin Hagler. He shaves his head, wears the same shorts. He is not a southpaw but he basis his approach to boxing on Hagler’s, which is never a bad thing.
Especially since his European title challenge against Frenchman Thomas Faure in Paris might require him to do what Hagler did to Alan Minter all those years ago in London and take it out of the officials’ hands.
