Sunny Edwards put on a show for the world of boxing as he walks through his Chilean opponent, Andres Campos this Saturday. There were a lot of times when the IBF Flyweight World Champion’s performance felt more like a masterclass of boxing, rather than an official bout. Edwards surprised his opponent with quick footwork and got into his opponent’s head with showboating while hitting him with a barrage of combinations. The boxer gave a technical spectacle throughout to his fans, but as it turned, the audience present at Wembley’s OVO Arena didn’t appreciate what they had in front of them.
