Sunny Edwards (born 1 January 1996[1]) is a British former professional boxer who held the International Boxing Federation (IBF) flyweight title from 2021 to 2023.
He is the younger brother of former flyweight world champion and current European bantamweight title holder, Charlie Edwards.
[7] 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.
[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.
[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.
[29] After John Riel Casimero withdrew from his mandatory title defense against Paul Butler, Edwards' bout with Mama was elevated to main event status.
[34] On 12 July 2022, it was revealed that Edwards had entered into negotiations for a title unification bout with the WBC flyweight champion Julio Cesar Martinez.
[35] The IBF gave Edwards until 7 September to deliver signed contracts as proof of the unification bout taking place.
As this failed to happen, on 8 September, the IBF ordered Edwards to make a mandatory title defense against their former light flyweight champion Felix Alvarado.
[39] It was revealed a few weeks later that Edwards would make his fourth title defense against the #7 ranked IBF flyweight contender Andres Campos on 10 June 2023, at the OVO Arena Wembley in London, England.
[42] Edwards was scheduled to face Adrian Curiel in a 12-round super flyweight bout at Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona on 29 June 29 2024.
