What have they said?
Sunny Edwards: “I have become one of the most avoided fighters in world boxing, but Felix Alvarado has the courage to face me on November 11, and that makes him an extremely dangerous opponent.
“I have grand plans to become the undisputed flyweight world champion, and then move through the weights, and I am totally confident that will happen – but there is no room for error against a fighter of Alvarado’s calibre, that’s for sure.”
Felix Alvarado: “I am ready for this fight against Sunny Edwards, and I want to thank God for allowing me the opportunity to achieve my dream of becoming a two-weight world champion.”
Predictions
Tim Rickson, BBN Editor: “Sunny Edwards hasn't shown many chinks in his armour yet in his career. With seven unanimous decision victories in a row, it'd be easy to assume this streak will continue on Friday night. However, Alvarado hasn't lost in over eight years, and when he did, it was back to back defeats for the WBA World light-flyweight and then the WBA World flyweight title, and he went the distance both times. He has won his last three fights by KO, so he is not an opponent to be taken lightly. Despite this, I still believe Sunny wins by UD.”
