Boxing tonight: TV channels, live stream info, ring walk times, fight schedule
Sunny Edwards and Galal Yafai will resume their storied rivalry tonight as they duke it out for the vacant WBC interim world flyweight title.
The boxers will finally clash in their much-anticipated all-British bout this evening, several years since their in-ring feud was sparked during their amateur days. Having already fought each other with 'Showtime' coming out on top back in 2015, a piece of gold is now up for grabs with Yafai hoping to claim the world title in front of his home crowd at the Resorts World Arena.
Both fighters are entering the bout in winning form, with the London-born Edwards returning to the win column this year with a victory over Adrian Curiel after losing his IBF flyweight title to Jesse Rodriguez last December.
Since making his professional debut in 2022 - two years after winning gold at the 2020 Olympics - Yafai has racked up an 8-0 record but will no doubt face the sternest test of his career yet against Edwards. The Birmingham native admitted respect exists between the pair but it won't stop him from trying to "rip his head off".
"I think everyone can see, there’s not a massive grudge," the 31-year-old said. "There’s sporting rivalry, which I’m not gonna want to lose to Sunny Edwards, he’s not going to want to lose to Galal Yafai.
"But the respect’s there. But the respect goes out the window when the bell rings and I’ll be trying to rip his head off and he’ll be trying to box my head off. It should gel for a great fight, from the spars we had definitely."
Fans won't have to wait long before watching a grudge match in the waiting, as Record Sport has all the details regarding the fight card, including where to watch it and who else will be taking to the ring.
