Sunny Edwards Has His Say

The flyweight title clash pits two impressive undefeated boxers against each other, in what promises to be a fascinating bout. “Showtime” was full of confidence and had plenty to say in response to “Bam” saying: “My hand will be raised in victory, and I am taking his belt, his 0 and it’s time.” 

“The reason why I don’t talk in person is that if I started talking and bullying you the way I could; your trainer didn’t come to Orlando, and he’s not sat here – why? Because he is scared of what I say. Your whole team is on eggshells, no one wants to look at me, you have been walking doing sweat sessions last night; I just want to make sure you don’t have any excuses for your bad hand, or bad jaw, that’s why I didn’t bully you.”

Edwards continued: “You have been a nice, quiet little boy and now you want to say I don’t know who I am? You are the one that’s confused. Of course, I shake your hand, you are a fighter.”

“Bam” was unable to get many words in as the Brit added: “You didn’t want this fight. On Saturday night you are going to be like your brother, retired. You have no heart for this.“

Take a trip down memory lane with Big Fight Weekend to when “Bam” stopped Srisaket Sor Rungvisai in stunningly easy fashion en route to a one-sided eighth-round knockout in June 2022.

Sunny Edwards will be looking to replicate the win – he achieved against Andres Campos by unanimous decision last time out.
