Sunny Edwards vs. Galal Yafai - Tony Bellew delivers his verdict on huge domestic grudge match
Watch Edwards vs. Yafai live tonight on DAZN
Tony Bellew can’t pick a winner ahead of Saturday’s outstanding flyweight clash between Sunny Edwards and Galal Yafai.
The pair will meet in Birmingham, live on DAZN , and the winner is expected to push on and challenge for a world title in 2025.
Edwards enters the contest already aware of what it takes to be world champion after holding the IBF crown before losing it to Bam Rodriguez in a terrific battle at the end of last year.
The Croydon man gave a great account of himself but his desire to become a unified ruler was eventually done by the brilliant Texan.
In Yafai, Edwards will be facing an Olympic champion who has delivered on the big stage as an amateur and is hoping to do the same as a professional.
Eight fights into his pro career, Yafai hasn't put a step wrong, but he’s about to take a significant step up in class when he gets into the ring with Edwards.

Bellew, a former world cruiserweight champion, will be ringside when the action unfolds this weekend, and he’s offered his verdict on how things might play out.
“I’m not able to make a prediction because there’s so many questions that still need to be answered and we’ll get them in this fight,” said Bellew when speaking exclusively to DAZN News .
“Has the Rodriguez loss stayed with Sunny? How will he cope without Barry Smith in his corner? Has this fight come too early for Yafai?
“I’m very excited for the fight because I think we’re going to get a great contest, but this is a coin toss for me, and I’ve got no idea how it’s going to play out.”
