Uncrowned has Sunny Edwards vs. Galal Yafai live results, round-by-round updates, ring walks and start time for the Edwards vs. Yafai fight card. Edwards and Yafai face off in a massive all-British flyweight battle for the WBC interim title on Saturday at the BP Pulse Live arena in Birmingham, England.
Edwards (21-1, 4 KOs) previously held the IBF championship but lost it in a unification fight with Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez in December. He bounced back with a technical decision win over former Mexican flyweight titlist Adrian Curiel in June and is now one fight away from another shot at world honors.
Yafai (8-0, 6 KOs) won Olympic gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, then turned professional with high expectations, boxing and winning a WBC trinket belt in his professional debut. He now takes a major step up in competition against former champion Edwards, hoping this will be his last fight before a dream world title shot.
The rivalry between Edwards and Yafai dates back to the amateurs, where Edwards won a split decision over Yafai almost a decade ago. Despite this, Yafai was chosen to represent the Great Britain team at major international tournaments, much to the dismay of Edwards.
Yafai then proved those decision-makers — including his current coach Rob McCracken — right by winning the pinnacle of boxing’s unpaid ranks: Olympic gold. However, Edwards believes he would have gotten the same award if he had the support he should have received after beating Yafai.
