Is this the new Amir Khan?

Before Amir Khan attempts to crown a glittering career by beating long-time rival Kell Brook on Saturday night, his legacy will be highlighted by young star Adam Azim's presence on the undercard.

The 19-year-old Azim and his 21-year-old brother, Hassan, who share a British-Pakistani heritage with Khan, are both scheduled to fight ahead of the settling of their idol's long-time rivalry with Brook, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

Adam, who has been touted as one of hottest prospects in boxing, will attempt to take his professional record to 3-0 as he takes on Jordan Ellison in a setting that holds fond memories for him.

"Amir Khan has been an inspiration since I was young," Adam told Sky Sports News. "Fourteen years ago I was sitting ringside with my dad on his lap, and my dad said to me: 'you're going to fight here one day at this arena.'

"Fourteen years later I'm fighting in the same arena on Amir Khan's undercard, so it's just amazing, because it shows I'm a boy inspired by Amir."

Hassan Azim, who in his second professional fight takes on MJ Hall, also credits Khan for inspiration.

"My first ever fight I watched was Amir Khan and now I'm going to be fighting on his undercard," Hassan told Sky Sports News.

"(I have) loads of memories of Amir Khan, not just in the ring. He helps the community out, he helps people in need, so he's my big inspiration."

Since bursting onto the scene by winning a silver medal as a 17-year-old at the 2004 Olympics, Khan has had a seismic impact on British boxing, but inspiring the country's South Asian community to take up the sport is of particular importance to the 35-year-old.

"It's amazing to be a fighter that they look up to, a role model to the Azim brothers," Khan told Sky Sports News.
