The fight is for Azeez’s British and Commonwealth Titles and a final eliminator for the WBA World Light Heavyweight Championship currently held by Dmitry Bivol. It was originally scheduled to take place on October 21 but a back injury suffered by Azeez in his final training session forced a postponement of the event to February 3.
