Sunny Edwards Teams Up With Matchroom Boxing In The Hunt To Unify!


Matchroom Boxing is glowing with the major signing of Sheffield’s undefeated IBF Flyweight World Champion Sunny “Showtime” Edwards!

Edwards (19-0, 4 KOs) is determined to unify the Flyweight division before moving on to achieve his goal of becoming a multi-weight World Champion. The gifted 27-year-old now finds himself in the perfect place for a unification clash with Mexico’s big punching WBC champ Julio Cesar Martinez. There is a back-story to this match-up as Martinez had a controversial “No Contest” against Sunny’s brother, Charlie Edwards in 2019.

“I’m extremely excited at this stage of my career to be partnering up with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing. Eddie has always been one of the most influential men on the boxing circuit since I’ve been involved in the sport and the conversations were simple, we both want to deliver the biggest fights possible every time.

“I’m hoping to be out June/July time. I’d originally hoped I’d have been out a little bit earlier in this year, but a rest after a few busy years boxing has done me good. I’m not content defending World Titles, I need more.

“First I want to unify whilst collecting the Ring Magazine Title. It has always been a big dream of mine to hold arguably the biggest prize in boxing today. It seems as if Martinez is the man for that, but at this point it’s whoever comes first. I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead whatever they may be, bring me the fighter they tell me I can’t beat – and repeat.”

“IBF Flyweight World Champion Sunny Edwards is one of the most naturally gifted boxers we have produced in the UK and I’m incredibly excited to finally get the opportunity to work with him and give him the opportunities to unify the Flyweight division.

“Sunny can certainly talk the talk and he can definitely walk the walk. A fight against WBC ruler Julio Cesar Martinez or Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez is a must for 2023.”
