# Sterling promises to stop Azeez

Andre Sterling has made a bold prediction ahead of his battle with English light-heavyweight champion Dan Azeez – insisting he will stop his domestic rival between round six and eight on Wednesday’s MTK Fight Night event.

London foes Sterling (11-2, 4 KOs) and Azeez (11-0, 7 KOs) have sparred countless rounds together in the past, and that has given Sterling the confidence to make a clear statement prior to their showdown.

“*Between round six and eight he’s going. He hasn’t even done a proper ten rounder before. Who has he fought? We’ve sparred many rounds and he hasn’t ever got close to stopping me, it’s more the other way around. I know what he brings to the table and I’m going to be too much for him. I’m coming home with the belt.*

*“I’m very excited for this fight. Last year was all learning and experience. I’ve been focusing on myself and improving on my flaws and I’m ready to put on a good performance.*

*“Azeez will do what he has got to do, but I’m very confident. I’m going to win this English title and then I want to become British and Commonwealth champion too.”*
