“You know what? It’s a big challenge, obviously, and all the shit outside. I know the brothers and that having their little bit. We’re having our back and forths. Not too much, but a little. But it’s good for the people watching, the British fans. It gets people interested. It’s not what I’m used to. I’m used to going to America and fighting the unknown Mexican. But I’m [now] fighting someone that everyone rates, everyone knows, and we’ll see who the better man is on Saturday.”

Fight Prediction

Opponents of Edwards generally have a tough time landing punches on him. At his best, the former flyweight champion can move around the ring in way that makes it difficult to hit him. As a result, he tends to go the distance in fights and win comfortably on the scorecards. Yafai is an accomplished fighter in his own right but does not seem to have enough in his arsenal to outbox or stop his opponent. Expect Edwards to outbox Yafai for most of their fight before winning a unanimous decision.
