On January 31st, live on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, British light-welterweight Adam Azim takes on Argentine Gustavo Lemos at the Copper Box Arena in London.
After Jeamie “TKV” Tshikeva and Frazer Clarke announced the BBC’s partnership with Boxxer last month, it will be the second time professional boxing has been on primetime linear BBC television in 20 years.
Unbeaten British bantamweight champion Francesca Hennessy will headline the undercard for Azim v. Lemos.
In the WBC bantamweight title fight between her and Ellie Boutell, she defeats Cherneka Johnson in the final eliminator.
Azim, 23, has won all 14 of his fights, with the majority of them knockout, but are stepping up as he tries to win the world title.
Lemos, 29, a former IBF light-welterweight champion, is in Azim’s path in January, and Azim claims that this is the “kind of fight I’ve been asking for.”
“Gustavo Lemos is a dangerous fighter, and I need to show him that I’m up for the top,” Azim said.
“To watch a big event close to home in London while competing live on BBC Two is going to be a special moment is going to be a big moment for me.”
I’m prepared to put on another performance that will make me a world champion.

Harlequins (0) 14
Cons: Smith 2 tries: Isgro, Smith
Bristol (26) 40
Under the lights at Twickenham Stadium, Bristol hammered the Harlequins 40-14 in an incredible attacking display.
The Bears ran in six tries in Quins’ annual “Big Game,” winning by 26 points, to take the title.
At the break, the visitors took a ruthless 26-0 lead over a Harlequins side that had occasionally produced some good rugby themselves thanks to unanswered scores from Kalaveti Ravouvou, Joe Batley, Gabriel Oghre, and Louis Rees-Zammit.
Before Quins finally got on the board through Rodrigo Isgro, the Bears were 14-14 and Tom Jordan was the sin-bin’s player, Santiago Grondona added another.
The men’s teams took to the field for a stunning display of lights and fireworks after Harlequins had defeated them 38-12 earlier in the afternoon’s Prem Women’s Rugby game.
And Bristol was the bright spot right away as they fought back from a difficult defeat.
The Bears defense was on par with everything Quins had to offer, and the visitors’ four devastating attacks gave them a strong grip on the game.
After receiving a lovely-weighted pass from Tom Jordan, Ravouvou dotted down in the corner before Batley rounded off a quick move involving Jordan, Ravouvou, and Benhard Janse van Rensburg.
Before Rees-Zammit scored the try of the half, Oghre soared through the middle, chipping over full-back Nick David, and diving over the line as Harlequins went in at the break with zero on the scoreboard.
And with the hosts running through for what appeared to be an inevitable fifth try within three minutes of the restart, Jack Walker was given offside on his own try-line and Grondona was reduced to 14 players.
Just before the hour, Jordan was shown a yellow card, and the home team finally gave the crowded Twickenham crowd cheers as substitute Isgro eventually dived over to get his side back on the board.
Genge, an England prop who had been injured but was only replaced, ran 50 meters and scored a stunning try from lineout.
Sam Riley scored, but play was resumed after replays revealed Isgro’s foot had touched the line, to sum up Harlequins’ luck.
Riley, Hobson, Delgado, Launchbury, Evans, Friday, Waghorn, and Isgro are the replacements.

Strictly Come Dancing’s upcoming live tour dates have been announced, and organizers have promised a spectacle that will be “more dazzling than ever before.” One judge will be noticeably absent, though.
The panel will feature former professional dancer Janette Manrara as host of the tour, while panelists Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, and Craig Revel Horwood are expected to re-join.
Motsi Mabuse, however, appears to be avoiding the tour. The 30-show tour’s lineup of celebrities and professional dancers will soon be revealed.
The tour will begin in Birmingham on January 23 and travel through Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Liverpool, Glasgow, and Nottingham before wrapping up in London’s O2 on February 15.
The BBC Strictly band performs live music from the BBC Strictly band, according to the Mirror, and Revel Horwood is the artistic director of the two hours of spectacular dance routines, including group performances.
The audience will ultimately determine the winner through nightly voting, despite the three judges giving their opinions at each show.
The Strictly live tour is always the best way to kick off the new year, according to head judge Ballas. I’m eager to see 2026 take to the stage with Anton and Craig to recreate the Strictly magic for fans all over the country. “Roll out January”
Du Beke stated, “My fourth Strictly tour just keeps getting better and better. It’s just magical to sit backstage next to the judges’ desk and watch the audience’s excitement go wild night after night. We both adore it, as I’ve already said before. What Craig has planned for the upcoming year is very exciting to me.
Revel Horwood continued, “The Strictly Live tour is for you if you love the BBC series.” Fans can experience the spectacle of the TV show and their favorite celebrities and dancers up close and personal with us so that they can watch the glitz, glamour, and gorgeousness in an arena near them. The entire family will enjoy this wonderful night out.
Karen Carney and Amber Davies, both of whom are expected to win the glitterball this weekend, will not be participating in the live stadium tour in the new year.
Balvinder Sopal, the EastEnder who went out this weekend and holds the dubious distinction of holding the record for the most dance-offs ever staged in the show’s history, will be absent when the tour begins on January 23rd. And neither will ER star Alex Kingston, who was injured throughout week ten before being voted off.
Fans of former Emmerdale star Lewis Cope, who caused a “fix” uproar when he and partner Katya Jones left the quarterfinal, along with fellow champions George Clarke and Alexis Warr, as well as soccer legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Lauren Oakley, who both left the competition in week five, had good news.
Fans should choose wisely when booking shows, though, because George will miss 11 shows for the same reason as Lewis and that he will miss eight performances due to a previous commitment. And while her partner Nikita Kuzmin will join her in 2023: Layton Williams, Amber is not available at the beginning of 2026 because she is appearing in Legally Blonde The Musical.
Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Karen Hauer, Ellie Goldstein and Vito Coppola, Vicky Pattison and her pro Kai Widdrington, will be the four newly announced couples, along with the previously announced ones, respectively. La Voix, a drag star, is recovering and will dance with her partner Aljakorjanec. She was forced to pull out last month due to injury.
According to one Strictly expert, “If Karen wins the weekend, she’ll be the second winner to miss the tour, coming on top of Chris McCausland last year, who was unable to attend because he had his own stand-up tour in the offing.” However, there are plenty of fans’ favorite films there to keep viewers happy. Vicky and Lewis both sparked outcries when they left the BBC show, so it’s good to have another chance to see them in action.
Layton Williams remarked, “It’s an honor to be asked back and able to do this twice, and it’s unbelievable.” Following his appearance in Blackpool last month, organizers had planned for him and Nikita to perform “some of their most-loved routines” for the arena audience.

Bonnie Blue has revealed how her father’s opinion of controversial influencer Andrew Tate changed. Tate and Tate made typically outrageous comments on the Disruptors podcast earlier this year, which caused a stir.
He described Blue as the “end result of feminism” and claimed women would be happy to sleep with the enemy if World War Three broke out. Blue then dropped a bombshell of her own, saying: “I would have f***** Hitler to survive.”
She also took a swipe at stay-at-home mums who criticise her marathon sex stunts, telling Tate that her actions were empowering women. Despite Tate’s notorious misogynistic views, Blue insisted she had no regrets about joining him on the podcast.
She also shared how she managed to sway her father’s negative perception of Tate. She told the Daily Star: “When I first told my dad I was going to do an interview with Andrew Tate, he was like, ‘Oh you’re not doing an interview with that guy, I’ve seen him online, I’ve seen his clips and what the news say about him.’
And I said, “Dad, imagine if you didn’t know me and you saw everyone coming to meet me,” and you would probably say the same thing.

“But you know me so you know those things aren’t true, and you know I’m not who I’m supposed to be online.” That makes sense, her father said.
According to Blue, “The one thing I’ve learned about what you read online is that what’s in the press is always true doesn’t mean they’re like that in person.”
Tate’s behavior before and during the podcast was only praised by her, who added, “I actually don’t regret doing the podcast at all.
He turned up early for the podcast, shook my hand, and gave me a drink, knowing that everyone has their own experiences with people.
He said, “Let me know if there is anything I ask you don’t want or don’t feel comfortable with,” and I could only agree with him with that. He and I had a positive encounter, really.
Tate, a former world champion kickboxer, is set to face Misfits heavyweight boxing champion Chase DeMoor in Dubai on Saturday night.
DeMoor claimed Tate insisted on a six-minute rule that the fight was scheduled to have. Three ringside judges will decide whether a knockout is acceptable or not.
