Sunny Edwards and Galal Yafai make weight for battle of Britain

Sunny Edwards was narrowly lighter than Galal Yafai for Saturday’s flyweight fight at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham, England.

The 28-year-old Edwards was 111lbs. Yafai, 31, was 111.4lbs.

The one-time amateur rivals fight in Yafai’s home city on the occasion of Yafai’s ninth professional contest, and Edwards’ second since his only defeat – via stoppage, in December 2023, by the great Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez. 

Callum Smith, in his first fight since being stopped in January by Artur Beterbiev, and ahead of reports of a potential date in 2025 with his fellow Briton Joshua Buatsi, fights Carlos Galvan of Colombia.

There is also a professional debut for the Welsh super middleweight Taylor Bevan, against Greg O’Neil, of England.
