“Money in the Bank, Brain Cells in Tact”: Commonwealth Gold Medalist Backs Sunny Edwards as His Boxing Style Is Dubbed “Boring” by Fight Fans

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.

There are reports that a lot of fans left the stadium by the time the fight was over. But as it turned this didn’t faze the World Champion one bit, as he posted a tweet recently. In the tweet, he wrote, “They said I’m so good it’s boring…” Then he flexed his undefeated record of 20-0. Although, there were some fans who were impressed by his performance against Campos.

Under that tweet, the 2018 Commonwealth Gold Medalist Australian boxer, Skye Nicolson left a comment where she stated that she looks at Edwards’s fight as a great win. Especially, he’s got “money in the bank” with all his “brain cells in tact“.

But there were a number of fans, that did not agree with this fact. And still, commented on his post, branding the Edwards vs. Campos as one of the most “boring” fights of this year. Let’s look into some of them.
