Edwards vacates WBC flyweight belt

WBC flyweight champion Charlie Edwards (15-1, 6 KOs) has decided to vacate his title after reporting that it is too difficult to him continue marking the weight.

In his most recent fight on September 1, Edwards retained his championship in a match that was declared a “no contest” against WBC #1 Julio Cesar Martinez (14-1, 11 KOs). Martinez appeared headed to a KO win, but he hit Edwards when he was on the deck after a knockdown.

  • Don’t want that rematch eh. Don’t blame you. Don’t see you being a match for any of the champs at 115 though

    • Flyweights split into so many ridiculous divisions now it will be easy to be “champ” in another one.

  • He never wanted that rematch. A man ought to know what’s best for his well being.
