Sunny Edwards and Galal Yafai will collide in a domestic thriller on Saturday , live on DAZN , where the winner will almost be guaranteed a world title shot in 2025.
Both enter the contest with impressive records, and both have collected a wealth of accolades on their way to this point in their respective careers.
Edwards is a former world champion who only lost his crown last year when he was beaten by the brilliant Bam Rodriguez.
Yafai is the proud owner of an Olympic gold medal after representing Great Britain impeccably at the 2020 Olympics, which took place the following year due to COVID-19.
Here, DAZN News takes a closer look at the contest and a number of areas that standout when it comes to betting on the fight.
Boxing betting tips: Sunny Edwards vs. Galal Yafai
- Sunny Edwards v. Galal Yafai draw at 16/1 (DAZN Bet)
- Yafai to beat Edwards via stoppage at 19/4 (DAZN Bet)
Could the draw be the way to go?
This is a fight that has split the entire boxing community with almost everyone expecting a closely fought encounter that will go the distance.
Tony Bellew, when speaking to DAZN NEWS earlier this week , was unable to even offer a prediction as he has no idea how things could play out.
Both men possess qualities that could get them over the line, but with the bout expected to feature each man having their moments, the draw, at 16/1 , could be the bet to make.
The DAZN News verdict
Edwards has endured tough nights in his most recent contests after being stopped by Rodriguez and suffering an awful cut against Adrien Curiel in June.
Going into a contest against Yafai, is there a possibility he could be reminded of both fights, or even have to endure the cut coming back to haunt him?
Edwards is very capable of using his superior skillset and boxing his way to a 12-round decision, but there’s more than enough evidence in his last two fights that could suggest he may not heat the final bell, and it could even be down to injury.
Yafai has a 75% stoppage rate as a professional so far and he’s an aggressive fighter who is often on the front foot.
The price of 19/4 for a Yafai stoppage looks generous and it certainly represents the best value when focusing on the outcome.
