Adam Azim vs Eliot Chavez: Start time, live stream, TV channel, tickets and full card for super lightweight bout
The British-Pakistani star was last in action earlier this year when he stopped Sergey Lipinets to land the vacant IBF 140-pound belt.
1
And it was a victory that extended Azim's record to a staggering 13 wins from 13 fights, and ten of those victories came by a knockout.
However, he could be in for a tricky test as Chavez bounced back from three straight defeats before landing a fifth-round KO on Hector Manuel Vargas last month.
Furthermore, Azim should approach Chavez with caution as the Mexican is famously known for stopping world champion Mauricio Lara.
Not to mention, Chavez was once disqualified in a bad-tempered battle with Harlem Eubank in 2022.
This mouthwatering bout is a late addition to the undercard of Callum Simpson vs Ivan Zucco.

Moment hammer-wielding robbers try to raid posh Chelsea pawnbrokers beloved by celebrities - only to be foiled by smokescreen
A pair of hammer-wielding robbers tried to raid a posh pawnbrokers in London - only to be thwarted by a smokescreen. Dramatic footage shows the thieves, who were both masked by their motorcycle helmets, enter Chelsea's Prestige Pawnbrokers - beloved by celebrities including Janet Jackson. The robbers appear to have smashed a large window to enter the shop, only to be foiled by a thick plume of smoke and startled by a blaring alarm system. A woman filming from a window above shouts 'they're robbing' as the two enter the store, only to stumble back out again as the smoke thickens. They then jump on their motorcycle, which was parked just outside, and flee the scene seemingly empty handed. Three men then appear to investigate and try to stop the alarm and intense smoke system. The shop, also called Posh Pawn, is famous for its luxury items and has seen famous faces visit - including Janet Jackson. The American singer, 55, was seen leaving Prestige Pawnbrokers in 2022 and is said to have become something of a regular there. Janet was seen leaving clutching a blue jewellery box under a sign which read 'Posh Pawn' and got into a Range Rover parked outside - and apparently it wasn't her first visit. A source told the Daily Mail at the time: 'She is a big fan of the shop and the staff look forward to welcoming her. She is always very chatty. 'She's been in five or six times and loves looking around. She is a valued client.' An onlooker in the store said: 'Janet was in Prestige Pawnbrokers for quite some time, she was looking at the jewellery for a while and seemed quite interested in a Hermes bag. 'She was clutching a blue jewellery box, but it wasn't clear what it contained. She seemed to be very friendly and was chatting away with the staff asking questions about various items on display.' Prestige Pawnbrokers also had its own Channel 4 hit documentary series, which uncovered the world of high-end pawnbroking.

Jeremy Clarkson's 'weird' rule that caused controversy at his Farmer's Dog pub is finally solved
The 'weird' rule at 's Farmer's Dog pub that saw staff repeatedly let down punters has finally been solved after months of backlash. The former Top Gear presenter opened a country pub alongside his Oxfordshire farm Diddly Squat, last year and announced he would only be using products and ingredients that were 100 percent British. It left commonplace items including Coca Cola, coffee and even ketchup firmly off the menu at the Cotswolds pub. Although many were supportive of the rule, so many punters would ask for ketchup to accompany their meals that staff resorted to putting up signs informing customers it was not available. But now the problem has finally been solved, thanks to Isle of Wight firm Condimaniac. The company decided to take on the challenge and has now successfully created an all-British ketchup, made from Isle of Wight tomato passata, apple cider vinegar from Hanmpshire, Essex salt and British sugar and onions. The firm has been documenting its progress on the product online, and said it was especially difficult to develop as no UK firm produces tomato puree. After successfully launching the condiment, co-founder of the company Kier Kemp said: 'Making a 100 per cent British ketchup after Jeremy Clarkson alerted us to the fact there wasn't one was very hard. When the former Top Gear presenter first opened the doors to his watering hole he was on a mission to only sell 100 percent British-grown products 'We had to put on our big boy pants.' In a blog post describing the process of making the ketchup, he admitted it was a 'massive faff' and said staff had 'had to go to great lengths to get the right consistency and flavour.' Co-founders Mr Kemp and Jennifer Dreier delivered an initial batch to the Farmer's Dog in June for staff to sample. Just before they met with manager, Annie, customers flocked to try the sauce, with one stating it was 'amazing'. 'I am not having Heinz again that is for sure,' another said. Another staff member at the Farmers Puppy, a 'small but mighty version of the pub in a tent', gave them kudos for their product. Condimaniac initially made 1,700 bottles of the product, with many destined to be sold at the pub's butcher and bottle shop and at Clarkson's farm. The product, costing £7.95, has already sold out on the firm's website. Reflecting on how impressed he was with the pub, Mr Kemp said: 'It is not just a gimmick for them they do really live and breathe this 100 percent British thing.' He later dubbed them the 'best wholesale clients I have ever dealt with', adding: 'Everyone I have met is super lovely.' 'I am glad that I can report they are actually nice people. It is not always like that.' A source close to Clarkson's pub told the Sun: 'Jeremy and the team support the British food and farming industry. 'So he made no apologies for not selling ketchup, no matter how many times staff had to let customers down. 'But the pub's always said that if a British company could do it with all-British ingredients, it would get on the menu.

Sky Bet betting guide for Day 1 of the York Ebor Festival today - as thousands flock to the Knavesmire for a blockbuster seven-race card
More than 70,000 fans are expected to descend upon the York Racecourse for the highly-anticipated York Ebor Festival this week. For those who will be following the action closely - let's take a look at each of the races on Day 1 of the Festival today There are seven races scheduled to take place on the opening day - with the Group 1 Juddmonte International Stakes the feature fixture. Hong Kong Jockey Club World Pool Handicap (13:50) The opening fixture of the day is shaping up to be a highly competitive sprint - with 20 thoroughbreds lining up over a five-and-a-half-furlong dash that is sure to whet the appetite of horse racing fans. Richard Spencer's The Man is the favourite to come away with the win in the first race of the meeting - with the Irish horse priced at 6/1. The Man looked strong at York in May, winning by more than two lengths from Loom. Meanwhile, for those anticipating the three-year-old to be upset - Jordan Electrics, Trefor and Air Force One are joint second-favourites at 15/2. Trefor has finished third or higher in each of his last four starts, including two wins. Meanwhile, Air Force One was victorious at York in late July, finishing first past the post in a five-furlong contest. Acomb Stakes (14:25) The Charlie Appleby-trained Distant Storm is an 5/4 favourite to win this Group 1 seven-furlong affair. Distant Storm impressed on debut at Newmarket in July - with the talented colt winning by a short-head from Aidan O'Brien's Constitution River. His victory at Newmarket bodes well - with the July maiden meeting throwing up six next-time-out winners. Therefore, if you're anticipating Distant Storm to win and win well - there are enhanced odds of 5/2 for the two-year-old to win by one or more lengths courtesy of a Sky Bet Price Boost. Meanwhile, O'Brien's Italy is considered the biggest threat when looking at the betting lines - with the Irish thoroughbred valued at 2/1. Italy has looked strong in two appearances in his career to date, winning on debut at Leopardstown before securing a second-place finish at Newmarket last time out. Lastly, Gewan rounds out the three favourites in the market with Sky Bet at 15/2 odds. Great Voltigeur Stakes (15:00) Heavy favourite Lambour is a BOOSTED 6/4 to win the Great Voltigeur Stakes. The three-year-old has looked extremely impressive in seven starts - winning five and claiming a second-place finish in another. He has particularly been in great form of late, with the thoroughbred finishing first past the post in each of his last three races - of which includes a win in the Irish Derby in June. Additionally, he won by more than three lengths in a Group One contest at Epsom a little over two months ago. Carmers, Arabian Force, Stay True and Mount Kilimanjaro are next in the market at 9/2, 8/1, 8/1 and 10/1 respectively. Meanwhile, if you're after a considerable outsider in the market - Pride of Arras is 11/1, while Thrice is the widest at 14/1. Juddmonte International Stakes (15:35) In what is the feature race of the day - six elite horses will compete over one mile and two furlongs in the Juddmonte International Stakes. John and Thady Gosden's Ombudsman is the best-backed with Sky Bet at 2/1 to reign supreme. If successful - it will mark the colt's sixth career win in eight starts, including an impressive outing in a two-furlong victory in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Ascot in June. Delacroix is a 9/4 second-favourite, while Danon Decile is third in the market at 4/1 odds. Both Delacroix and Danon Decile enter Wednesday's race in fine form, with the former winning three of his last four, while the latter has been victorious in each of his last two starts. See The Fire, Daryz and Birr Castle round out the remainder of the field at 6/1, 10/1 and 80/1. Stayers Handicap (16:10) The Stayers' Handicap is one of the most highly-anticipated fixtures on Day One of the York Ebor Festival - with the gruelling two-mile contest oftentimes one of the most open fields of the meeting. That is tipped to be the case once again this year, with the three best-backed thoroughbreds barely separated in the betting lines. At the time of writing, Santorini Star is the shortest-priced at 9/2, closely followed by Dancing in Paris, Alphonse Le Grande and Terrorise - all of whom are 5/1. Alphonse Le Grande's most recent win came at Newmarket last October, while Dancing in Paris finished second last time out. Meanwhile, it is Dancing in Paris who has arguably been in the best form - winning back-to-back fixtures at Brighton and Goodwood in April and May. Heritage Handicap (16:45) Luna A Inbhir Nis is a 13/2 favourite with Sky Bet to win the Heritage Handicap, while Fluorescence is next at 7/1. Luna A Inbhir Nis has had an exceptional calendar year to date, winning six of eight starts. Additionally, the three-year-old boasts recent course form after securing a victory at York last month. Meanwhile, Fluorescence won at Redcar in a handicap in Redcar earlier this month. Nursery Handicap (17:20) Sky Bet are offering a Price Boost valued at EVENS (1/1) for this six-furlong contest - which requires Temple of Athena to secure a top six finish. For those interested in the above bet - Temple of Athenaa is the third-favourite in the market at 13/2 odds. Additionally, the two-year-old has had solid performances across her first two career starts - with the filly winning on debut before finishing third most recently. She is behind that of Utmost Respect and Dublin Bay in the market - with the duo the best-backed at 7/2 and 11/2 respectively. Utmost Respect won at Hamilton last time out, while Dublin Bay has won each of his last two fixtures.
