The London clash will be just Azim's second fight in 15 months after frustrating spells on the sidelines. He was due to return in January against Gustavo Lemos but the bout was scrapped when both men suffered injuries in training.‌And Azim fought just once last year after opponent Eliot Chavez was pulled out of their meeting hours before the first bell. The quietly-spoken super-lightweight is one of the country's brightest talents - but rarely shouts about it. He has the chance to remind a huge audience of his star quality tonight.‌And he is ready to make a noise after taking acting classes to boost his confidence. Azim doesn't have far to look for advice - because his actress wife has already graced our screens. Duaa Karim starred in Man Like Mobeen as the younger sister of the title character, a reformed drug dealer trying to stay on the straight and narrow.And Azim said: "I've already watched my wife on the BBC so now it's her turn. "She's also been a presenter so now we can both say we've been on the channel - though she definitely beat me to it! She has been an actress since she was 15 and we've supported each other in our careers.Article continues below"My wife helped me with my lines when I did acting classes earlier this year. I did six lessons after my dad said it would help with my confidence. I didn't have to do anything embarrassing; I actually felt comfortable. And while Azim would relish a part in a TV drama - he would rather gatecrash Tinseltown."It's going to be really good being on the BBC with millions of people watching. Prince Naseem fought on there, so did Barry McGuigan and Amir Khan; so it's good to get my name out there. One day I'll be retired from boxing and maybe later when I'm in my 30s I could be an actor myself."I would like to be in a TV show but the part I would really want to play is Spider-Man. I've watched all the films and really like the characters and the storylines. I made my wife watch them too and I'm planing to go to the premiere of the new one in the summer."Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌
