MANILA, Philippines – Jayson Mama found Sunny Edwards an elusive target and failed in his bid to wrest the Londoner’s International Boxing Federation flyweight belt on Saturday, December 11 at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Donnie Nietes did enough to win but the judges were not entirely convinced and the four-division world champion had to be content with a split draw against Norbelto Jimenez of the Dominican Republic in their super flyweight eliminator. Johnriel Casimero, on the other hand, is in danger of losing his World Boxing Organization bantamweight crown afteragainst Paul Butler allegedly due to a bout with viral gastritis on Thursday night.
This developed after Butler refused to tangle with substitute fighter Joseph Agbeko for the interim title.Not known for his power, Edwards even scored a knockdown in the 10th with a straight left followed by a right that put Mama off-balanced rather than hurt.
