Charlie Edwards is one win away from getting to fight for his second world title
Former WBC flyweight champion Charlie Edwards (21-2, 7 KOs) will take on South African Sikho Nqothole (21-3, 13 KOs) in an IBF World super-flyweight title eliminator.
MF Pro announced that Edwards-Nqothole will headline the York Hall event on May 29 in London, live on DAZN.
The winner of IBF #5 Edwards and IBF #6 Nqothole will go on to challenge the IBF super-flyweight titleholder Willibaldo Garcia.
Jesse Rodriguez holds all the other belts – WBC, WBA, WBO, so a shot at becoming undisputed is just two fights away.
Charlie’s younger brother lost to Jesse Rodriguez, so there is family pride at stake for the Edwards in that fight. But first, he has to get through a tough South African who has held WBO Global and IBO All-Africa super-flyweight belts during his nine-year career.
Another South African, Ricardo Malajika, holds the prestigious IBO title at super-flyweight.
Also in action are prospects Dan Toward, James Osborne, Ollie Cooper, Tom Welland and Lucas Roehrig.
