Azim was expected to reschedule that bout but the Argentinian decided to withdraw from the opportunity.
Azim v Claggett will be live on BBC Two from 21:00 until 23:00 BST, with the undercard live on BBC iPlayer.
“This is another big step forward for me on my journey to a world title,” Azim stated.
“Steve Claggett is a tough, experienced fighter, he gave Teofimo Lopez his toughest fight, and that’s exactly the kind of challenge I want.
“I’m ready to put on a great performance and show everyone why I’m destined for the top.”
Canada’s Claggett, 36, has a record of eight losses, two draws and 40 wins, giving him a big experience advantage over 23-year-old Azim.
Claggett has one fight at world-title level, losing to then WBO light-welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez in 2024 on points and has fought just twice since then.
