On Friday, April 30 we will witness the defense of the IBF flyweight title of South African Moruti Babyface Mthalane, 38 years old and who has been a professional boxer for more than 20 years. He will face Sunny Showtime Edwards, a 25-year-old Englishman, who has only 4 years as a professional. This fight will take place in the city of London, at the York Hall, and will be a 12 round fight. The fight can be watched on ESPN at 14:00 ET/ 11:00 PT, a fight that will be of experience vs. youth.
Experts say it will be a great fight, where Sunny has shown his willingness to take on and join the Elite of boxing soon, as there is no doubt that Sunny will face a top world champion, as Mthalane has extensive experience and has beaten the leaders of his category over the years, but they expect it to be the perfect time for a change of leader at the top of boxing.
Let’s review important facts about the fighters:
Cara de bebê Mthalane is recognized worldwide for being one of the greatest current champions, having won his first world title in 2009 with a victory over Julio Cesar Miranda in what was a vacant Peso Mosca IBF title fight – plus he also won the IBO Flyweight title with a 2014 victory over Jetha Oliva, and who currently holds a 15 luta invicto streak. His last loss dates back to November 1, 2008. Until the day of the fight against Sunny he will accumulate 494 dias de inatividade, since his last fight dates back to December 23, 2019, but Cara de bebê can boast his record with 41 fights, where he has had 39 vitórias, 26 of them via KO and only 2 defeats.

Para Altura de começar Eduardo this fight will represent a great opportunity to join the elite of world boxing, since, in his sixteenth fight as a professional, with the flyweight title at stake he could continue consolidating his great presence, since he moved down a category to seek to consolidate himself in the world scene, and since his victory against Ryan Farrag in 2018, he obtained an important streak of six fights with titles at stake to consolidate his place in the world ranking. O inglês chegará na luta pelo título com 244 dias de inatividade, since his last fight on August 29, 2020 against Cameroonian Thomas Essomba, thus increasing his relentless record of 15 submissions and the same number of victories, so he comes inspired and will seek to enter the elite with a personal record without a setback to his credit.
