We witnessed an edge-of-your-seat all-action affair between Liam Davies and Shabaz Masoud at the bp pulse LIVE in Birmingham earlier this month, and the spotlight falls on the same venue for another eagerly anticipated all-British tear-up, Sunny Edwards vs Galal Yafai, on Saturday, November 30. While there’s no belt on the line on this occasion, the Edwards vs Yafai rivalry has been simmering for nigh on a decade, and we can expect fireworks when the pair finally get it on in this flyweight thriller. As well as settling a score and the bragging rights, the winner looks guaranteed a world title shot at some point in 2025.
Former IBF world flyweight champ Sunny Edwards is the more experienced of the headlining duo, having made his professional debut way back in 2016. The London-born boxer made steady progress up the ranks, racking up an impressive unbeaten record. He would grab headlines worldwide, though, when beating Moruti Mthalane in 2021 behind closed doors at London’s York Hall to claim the IBF belt. Edwards went on to make four successful defences of the crown before suffering the first loss of his career in a blockbuster clash against Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez last December. Edwards returned to action against Mexican boxer Adrian Curiel in June and was well on top during the Arizona bout, before a clash of heads stopped the fight prematurely. The British man won the contest by technical decision.
Getty Images While Sunny Edwards was honing his skills professionally, Galal Yafai remained in the amateur ranks, pursuing his goal of clinching Olympic gold. Edwards and Yafai met in the ring as amateurs back in 2015, with Edwards winning by a split decision. However, it was Yafai who would head to the 2016 Rio Olympics for Team GB. Despite failing to secure a medal, the Birmingham boxer never gave up hope and would go all the way at the Tokyo Games in 2021, outpointing the Philippines’ Carlo Paalam to secure gold. Having accomplished that feat, Yafai now has his sights set on a world crown. Under Robert McCracken’s guidance, Yafai has made light work of his eight opponents to date (stopping six of those inside the distance) since turning professional at the start of 2022. This upcoming clash on his home turf in Birmingham represents his biggest step up in class, of course.
