Sunny Edwards vs. Galal Yafai - The DAZN News preview on what to expect on huge show as major rivals collide
Watch Edwards vs. Yafai tonight live on DAZN
A huge show takes place in Birmingham this weekend as Sunny Edwards and Galal Yafai meet in a family feud that has been simmering for many years.
The former amateur rivals will square off, live on DAZN , and the winner will be in a great spot to land another huge fight in 2025.
Here, DAZN News takes a closer at the show card and who the winners and losers may be.
Sunny Edwards vs. Galal Yafai
A huge battle between two quality talents as professional glory meets amateur success, with the victor surely set to land a world title bout next year.
Edwards has all the experience in the pro game after reigning as world champion and now he is facing a fighter who wants what he once had as he comes up against Yafai.
The Birmingham man won gold at the 2020 Olympics, and he has been fast-tracked to this moment after having only eight professional fights.
In Edwards, he is facing a skilful operator who has defeated many quality names. But is this a case of Yafai, and his team, getting the timing right.
Edwards was stopped by Bam Rodriguez last year and he suffered a nasty cut against Adrien Curiel this past summer.
Yafai will be confident he can add further misery and he has the pick to win a closely fought encounter.
Callum Smith returns
The Liverpool man, a former world champion, is back in action as he looks to return to winning ways after losing to Artur Beterbiev earlier this year.
Smith partakes in a low-profile contest as he builds towards a big fight in 2025, but it will be interesting to see how he approaches the fight as he looks to send a reminder that he is still a big threat.
Light-heavyweight is threatening to be one of boxing’s best division's next year and a vintage Smith will be a dangerous proposition for the likes of Anthony Yarde and Joshua Buatsi.
Cameron Vuong vs. Gavin Gwynne
Cameron Vuong has the opportunity to announce himself on the big stage as he goes in with former European champion, Gavin Gwynne.
The Northeast prospect is seen as one of the brightest prospects in all of boxing and he can enhance that opinion when he goes in with the Welsh veteran.
Vuong has looked good as a professional so far, but he will have to answer some questions against Gwynne who has shared the ring with some quality operators.
Victory for Vuong will open the door for huge fights in 2025 so he’ll need to be at his best.
He can get the job done on the scorecards after learning some vital lessons along the way.
