Sunny “Showtime” Edwards has shared his winning game plan for the biggest fight of his career when he outpointed Moruti “Baby Face” Mthalane to wrest the IBF flyweight belt from him.

In their Friday nigh bout in London, the British boxer decided to fight the South African from the outside because going toe-to-toe with him would have been suicidal.but in truth he outsmarted not only Mthalane but his entire camp. When Mthalane threw punches, Edwards’s movement ensured that only a single blow got home but more often than not it was the challenger who flicked home a variety of punches while switching effortlessly from the southpaw to orthodox stance.

Surely after 20 years, and being involved in his 11th world title fight, the former champion who is now trained by Colin Nathan can read the fight on his own and change gears if the need arises. Mthalane should have realised after three rounds that Edwards was doing exactly what he had said he would do, and change the strategy.

No matter what happens, the truth is that the pocket-sized former IBF and IBO champion has been a superhero who should walk tall. He accomplished a lot and for his efforts, hard work and dedication, he was voted the 2019 SA Sportsman of the Year.
