Azim Vs Scoby Added To Eubank-Benn 2, U.S. Fans Unimpressed

Light welterweight contender Adam Azim vs. Kurt Scoby has been added to the November 15th Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn 2 event on DAZN PPV at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Tottenham in London.

DAZN PPV price: $59.99 for U.S. fans and £24.99 for UK fans.

Azim’s Appeal Doesn’t Travel

Adding this fight to the card works for UK fans, who are high on Azim, but does nothing for American fans. Many of them don’t rate Azim. This fight alone won’t be enough to make fans want to order the event, given that many of them don’t see any value in paying to watch the Eubank Jr.-Benn 2 rematch. The fans are critical of these two, viewing them as nepotism babies and their rematch as a cash grab.

Scoby (18-1, 16 KOs) should give a test to show whether Azim has any future in the 140-lb division. The 23-year-old Azim (13-0, 10 KOs) is a fringe contender who still hasn’t gotten his feet wet against world-level opposition. It’s still too early to know if he’ll rise above British level, given how stacked the 140-lb division is at the moment.

November 15 Undercard

• Jack Catterall vs. Ekow Essuman
• Adam Azim vs. Kurt Scoby
• Richard Riakporhe vs. Tommy Welch
• Sam Gilley vs. Ishmael Davis
• Mikie Tallon vs. Fezan Shahid

The Ring revealed today that a deal had been reached for Azim and Scoby to be added to the November 15th undercard of Eubank Jr. vs. Benn 2. Fans on social media have thus far been positive about the addition.

To create more interest from fans, adding the Azim-Scoby fight to the undercard might not be enough. Neither of those fighters is considered a future world champion by fans.

They won’t make the fence sitters want to order this event on PPV, given that they already view the headliner between Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn as a money grab. Ideally, the undercard needs two to three solid fights that appeal to both UK and U.S. fans—Azim vs. Scoby.

The addition of Azim vs. Scoby to the Eubank Jr.-Benn 2 event gives the strong impression of desperation by the organizers. There’s a lack of fan interest in the second fight between Eubank Jr. (35-3, 24 KOs) and Benn (24-1, 14 KOs), as their fight earlier this year on April 26, 2025, had a conclusive ending. Eubank Jr. won by a 12-round unanimous decision. It was a poorly thought-out idea to have a second fight between them without both facing other top-level fighters in between.

Overall, fans on social media view the Eubank Jr. vs. Benn 2 rematch as a “meaningless commercial stunt” to line their pockets further with more millions. The two career underachievers already made massive money last April in a fight that proved nothing other than they’re nowhere near as talented as their famous fathers.
