Sunny Edwards on flyweight clash against Galal Yafai: I fear no foe

Sunny Edwards has described himself as “fearless” after signing to face flyweight rival Galal Yafai in Birmingham on November 30.

South London-raised Edwards, 28, lost his IBF world title in a unification clash with Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez in December.

It is the only loss on his professional record.

Edwards said: “What I think it is – and it’s probably the same for Galal – I feel like we both chase competition.

“We’ve both spent the best part of the last 10 years going around the world and facing the best challenges or trying to. I don’t fear losing, I don’t fear the harm another person can do to my body, especially at my size.

“I don’t really care and I’m never going to be scared of anyone that weighs 112lbs. Galal is one of the best in the world and he has been for a few years now, especially in the amateurs and in the Olympics. He’s shown that he’s taken to the pro game like a duck to water, and he’s done everything asked of him.

“I know that some people may be are asking if this is too soon, or wondering why the fight is happening, but I was always ready for this fight, it was inevitable.”
