With a one-week break for UFC fans, combat sports doesn’t stop, and boxing fans are in for an exciting showdown. On Saturday, November 30, two rising stars, Sunny Edwards and 2020 Olympic gold medalist Galal Yafai, will face off in a high-stakes battle for the vacant WBC Interim World Flyweight Title.
As the event draws closer, here’s a breakdown of both fighters, giving fans a preview of what to expect from this exciting matchup.
Sunny Edwards vs. Galal Yafai Predictions
Edwards, with a 21-1 record and 4 knockouts, is still riding high at 28. After a tough loss to Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez for the IBF title, he didn’t stay down. Instead, Edwards bounced back with a solid win in June, stopping Adrian Curiel in the ninth round. Now, he’s got his eyes set on the WBC Interim World Flyweight Title, ready to prove himself and take that next big step.
On the other hand, Yafai, at 31, may have only eight pro fights under his belt, but his rich amateur background adds to his experience. With 6 knockouts in those 8 bouts, he’s proven to be a powerful finisher, even outdoing Edwards in that department. While he has lost to Edwards before in the amateurs, this fight marks the biggest challenge of Yafai’s career, with a chance to claim the WBC Interim Flyweight Title.
Edwards is likely to come out on top in this matchup, even though the Olympic Gold Medalist’s pressure and style will make it a competitive fight. Yafai’s aggressive approach could create challenges, but Edwards is known for handling such tactics well. Consequently, the fight may be close, but Edwards’ sharp skills are expected to earn him a split-decision win.
