Sunny Edwards vs. Galal Yafai walkout songs: Tracks the boxers have used before
The highly anticipated Sunny Edwards vs. Galal Yafai clash is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Nov. 30, at the BP Pulse LIVE in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The 12-round all-British showdown is slated for the interim WBC flyweight title.
The two boxers first crossed paths as amateurs in 2015, with Edwards edging out a victory via split decision. However, it was Yafai who earned a spot on Team Great Britain for the 2016 Rio Olympics, where his journey ended in the round of 16.
Yafai later redeemed himself with a gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Tokyo Olympics, while Edwards enjoyed a successful reign as the IBF champion from May 2021 to December 2023 before relinquishing his title to Jesse Rodriguez.
'Showtime' is fresh off an eighth-round technical decision victory over Adrian Curiel in June, marking a rebound from his loss to Rodriguez. Edwards originally claimed the IBF title in September 2019 with a unanimous decision triumph over Rosendo Hugo Guarneros.
Meanwhile, Yafai is coming off a technical knockout victory over Sergio Oliva in September, making a quick two-month turnaround. The Olympic gold medalist began his professional journey in style, securing a knockout win against Carlos Vado Bautista in February 2022.
