Sunny Edwards (born 1 January 1996) is a British professional boxer who has held the British super-flyweight title since 2019. He is the younger brother of boxer Charlie Edwards.[2]
Amateur career
As an amateur he fought out of Repton ABC and later Steel City ABC, winning multiple national championships; the ABA Juniors in 2013;[3] ABA Youth in 2014;[4] and the ABA Elite in 2015.[5] He also won silver medals in the GB Junior, and ABA Elite Championships[6] in 2012 and 2016 respectively.[7]
Professional career
Edwards made his professional debut on 24 September 2016 at the Recinto Ferial in Estepona, Spain, scoring a four-round points decision (PTS) victory over Sergey Tasimov.[8]
After winning his first five fights, one by stoppage, he faced undefeated prospect Ross Murray (6–0 1 KO) on 27 November 2017 at Grange St. Paul's Hotel in London, with the vacant WBO European super-flyweight title on the line. Edwards won the fight via fourth-round technical knockout (TKO).[9] Following two more wins, he successfully defended his WBO European title on 26 October 2018 with a ten round unanimous decision (UD) victory over Ryan Farrag at the York Hall, London. Two judges scored the bout 100–90 while the third scored it 99–91.[10][11] His next fight came on 15 December against Junior Granados at the Brentwood Centre, Essex, for the vacant WBO International super-flyweight title. Edwards overcame a second-round knockdown to add the WBO International to his WBO European title by UD, with the judges' scorecards reading 99–91, 98–91, 97–92.[12][13] Following the win over Granados, he made a second defence of his WBO European title against Pedro Matos on 27 April 2019, at Wembley Arena, London. Edwards retained his title via eighth-round TKO.[14] His next fight came on 13 July against Hiram Gallardo at The O2 Arena, London, with the vacant IBF International super-flyweight title in the line. Edwards won by UD, adding the IBF International to his WBO titles. All three judges scored the bout 99–90.[15]
Edwards dropped down to flyweight for his next fight, stating: "We dropped down to flyweight because it's looking like I’m more likely to get a world title shot, but it is what it is".[16] On 14 September 2019, he fought Rosendo Guarneros at the York Hall for the vacant IBF International and vacant WBO Inter-Continental flyweight titles. Edwards won by UD, with two judges scoring the bout 99–91 and the third scoring it 100–90.[17]
