DAN Azeez made it five wins out of five as a professional after seeing off the experienced Adam Jones at York Hall.
The Essex University Boxing Club member won over four rounds at the prestigious venue, as part of MTK Global’s Seize the City event.
Azeez said: “I just needed another two rounds and I would have stopped him. My next fight, hopefully I get a six-rounder and we go on from there.
“I needed someone like that who can grind with me. I’m not complaining. I got the win and it’s job done.”
Rio Olympics duo Lawrence Okolie and Joshua Buatsi were both in attendance, at the event.
