"A Major Fight." Hearn Reacts to Edwards' Callout!

Eddie Hearn, head of Matchroom Boxing, has reacted to the potential fight between IBF light flyweight champion Sivenathi Nontshinga (13-1, 10 KOs) and former world lightest weight champion Sunny Edwards (20-1, 4 KOs).

"If Sunny Edwards can move down to light flyweight, he'll have a chance to become a world champion in two weight classes. Sunny versus Nontshinga is a major fight," said Hearn.

In his last fight in December 2023, Edwards lost to Jesse Rodriguez for the WBO and IBF titles. Nontshinga defeated Adrian Curiel on the night of February 17th and won the IBF belt.
