TALENTED boxing brothers Adam and Hassan Azim have been added to the sold out blockbuster Amir Khan vs Kell Brook fight on February 19 at the AO Arena Manchester.

Both the brother duo have been sensational in the ring when Adam floored Stu Greener last month to a second round stoppage while older sibling Hassan made a historic pro debut with a stunning one punch knock out of Ivan Njegac.


They will join unbeaten Cruiserweight talent and social media uber influencer Viddal Riley, who will be part of the event with more names expected to be included in the card as the event draws nearer.

Adam and Hassan have won 16 National amateur titles between them and like amir want to inspire the next generation of Asians to pick up boxing.

“I am absolutely ecstatic to be part of the huge BOXXER event on the 19th February 2022 at the AO Arena Manchester. I remember watching Amir Khan as a mesmerised six-year-old, I cannot believe 13 years later I would be fighting on Amir Khan’s undercard. It’s a dream come true. I hope that we can have the same effect that Amir had on us and get more youngsters into boxing,” Adam was quoted as saying.

Hassan added, “It’s a privilege to be on the Amir Khan vs Kell brook undercard. I became a boxing fan because of Amir Khan and I cannot comprehend the excitement of now fighting on the undercard. Thank you to First Access, Sky Sports and BOXXER for making my dream come true.”

BOXXER founder and CEO Ben Shalom, said: “I’m really excited to have both brothers Adam and Hassan on another big show. I love working with them and their potential is endless. The Azims lit up Wembley last month and they’ll bring their brand of excitement to Manchester in front of an audience that will love them. This is another massive platform for them to showcase their talent in front of a sold out crowd and live viewers on Sky Box Office.”

Unlocking ancient healing: The power and precision of Vedic mantras

Ashwini Guruji

You may have heard of Sanjeevani Vidya, bestowed by Guru Shukracharya, which could revive the dead, or the Sanjeevani Buti that restored Lakshman’s life. Tales like Madhu Vidya, enabling immortality, and the Ashvini Kumars’ Chyawanprasha, rejuvenating Sage Chyawan, are not mere stories but the practical achievements of Vedic rishis. Masters of Creation, they understood the human body as a microcosm of the universe. The proof of these ancient sciences lies in modern scientific discoveries, many rooted in Vedic shastras. Visit www.dhyanfoundation.com to explore this connection.

Though much of this ancient knowledge has been lost in Kaliyuga and many herbs have become extinct, fragments remain accessible and potent. Divya Chikitsa Mantras from Sanatan Kriya are one such gem.
