But Nelson has told Sky Sports:
“Adam has to concentrate on his trade, since in case you attempt to coordinate the execution of an enemy at that point what happens is it influences your possess execution.
“Adam must remain in his claim path, do what he does well.
“Dalton Smith, we see his lesson in his exhibitions, we see how great he is. But Adam is making strides continually all the way through.
“Right presently, Adam can disregard him [Smith].

“On the off chance that I was Dalton’s individuals, I’d keep the weight on, freely attempt to humiliate him and put the crush on him. That’s what Dalton is doing.”
Coach Shane McGuigan has portrayed Azim as a ‘superstar’ and accepts he can imitate the accomplishments of American stars such as Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Ryan Garcia.
“Shane knows Adam and he knows what will motivate him,” Nelson told Sky Sports. “He knows what he’s capabilities are.
“A few of it is showmanship and ‘my warrior can do X,Y,Z’, but Shane McGuigan doesn’t strike me as a coach who over amplifies himself.
“Fair since these are enormous names, individuals think it’s an difficulty for Adam, since you’re not utilized to these names being utilized within the same sentence.
“But why not? Adam could be a great warrior and all he’s done is develop, but because these folks are enormous names in America, it doesn’t cruel you can compose them off.
“In case you conversation approximately it presently, it becomes a reality in possibly 18 months or two a long time – that’s what Shane is doing. The way Adam is going, that’s why he is talking him up.”
