IBF flyweight champion Moruti Mthalane (39-3, 26 KOs) dropped a twelve round unanimous decision and lost his title to elusive challenger Sunny Edwards (16-0, 4 KOs) on Friday night at York Hall in London. The 38-year-old Mthalane, who has been unbeaten since 2008, had difficulty reaching Edwards, who stayed out of range and swatted him with light punches all night. Scores were 118-111, 120-108, 115-113.
Challenger ran away from the champion all night and won.
A brilliant performance and almost flawless by Sunny Edwards over the champion Mthalane. Time has caught up with the champ, off 16 months, and at 38. Edwards brother Charlie is a former world champ. I look forward to Edwards and Philly’s Steph Fulton in Sept or end of the year. I had it 119-109.
My error, it is Michael Conlan who won the co-feature who is lined up to fight Fulton. He did quite well in a good fight defeating Ionut Baluta in a good competitive fight for the WBO International title. Conlan is unbeaten and looking for the match with Fulton for his title.
congratulations Sonny
Age caught up with Mthalane one of the best
Well done to Edward’s!!
Which idiot was calling Edwards a chump, lol.??
