Charlie Edwards: record, next fight and profile →
World champion Charlie Edwards has assured his WBO European champion brother Sunny that he can turn his recent injury disappointment into a positive. Unbeaten Sunny (10-0-KO3) suffered ruptured ankle ligaments in his recent victory over Junior Granados but Charlie believes the rehabilitation process can also be used to take stock and adopt a more measured approach to his rise.
Charlie Edwards has quickly turned his thoughts to unification bouts after seizing the WBC world flyweight title with a masterclass against Cristofer Rosales. The Surrey star (14-1-KO6) earned a wide points victory over the highly-rated Nicaraguan at London’s O2 on December 22 but rather than revel in the glory of the famous green belt, Edwards is already thinking of the next step towards complete domination.
When he returned home to Nicaragua, former world champion Cristofer Rosales was greeted by his mother, Julia Gonzalez, his brothers, other relatives and some friends. After the crushing defeat against British boxer Charlie Edwards in London, England on December 22, it's been reported that Gonzalez will rest for 15 days and then return to fitness in the second week of January 2019.
