BOXER Adam Azim is striving to one day be considered the GOAT – and he has laid the foundations by first getting an actual pet goat.
Super-lightweight Azim is one of the hottest prospects in Britain right now, with a 10-0 record consisting of seven knockouts.

The unbeaten 21-year-old returns on the weekend, defending his Enock Poulsen at Wembley Arena.
And he does so with a new face in his family – pet goat Tootsie.
Azim told Boxing News: “Actually when you know where to look, you can buy goats from loads of places.
“Once you know, you see them for sale everywhere. I was in the car and saw a sign saying ‘goats for sale’ so I thought ‘yeah’.
“There were seven or eight goats and you can just go there and choose one. I gave them £150 and then it’s mine.”
Azim paid cash but quickly realised he would not be able to take Tootsie home to live with just yet.
He revealed: “I realised that I couldn’t really take him home straight away because my house is getting an extension put on it right now.
“But I didn’t just leave. I stuck him in the car and took him for a drive around the block first and then I took him back to the farm.
“Actually my dad only found out about the new goat because he saw loads of mud in the car.
“I’ve called it Tootsie and I go and see it at the weekend. I can’t wait to get it home, I think I will have the right set-up for it in the garden.”
Azim stopped Franck Petitjean in round ten of his last fight in Wolverhampton, where he won the European title in only his tenth fight.
