The European Boxing Union (EBU) has officially ordered Adam Azim to defend his European super-lightweight title against Dalton Smith, with purse bids scheduled for February 28th. Matchroom Boxing, represented by Eddie Hearn, is fully committed to the all-British match-up, emphasizing its potential to elevate both fighters as stars. However, questions arise regarding Smith's existing fight with Jose Zepeda and the potential implications of the purse bid. In other boxing news, Anthony Joshua is set to make his return to the ring, and Adam Smith is poised to return to boxing commentating after recovering from cancer.

One month until the biggest star in world boxing returns. Anthony Joshua will make his return to the ring also. https://t.co/SQmeouc705
Why is Matchroom pushing for the Dalton Smith-Adam Azim purse bid when Smith already has a fight with Jose Zepeda announced? Do they plan to pull Smith out of that fight? Not all of this is making sense to me.
