Sunny Edwards and Galal Yafai will lock horns for the vacant WBC interim world flyweight title in a highly-anticipated all-British bout on Saturday.
In a rivalry that stretches back to the pair’s amatuer days, Birmingham’s own Yafai will have a home crowd behind him as the Olympic gold medalist looks to add a world title to his collection at the Resorts World Arena.
He will have to overcome former world champion Edwards, with the London-born bruiser equally eager to spoil the party and reclaim his throne at flyweight.
With six knockouts and an 8-0 record next to his name, Yafai puts his unbeaten status on the line and will be hellbent on walking out with not just a world championship around his waist, but with that zero still intact.
