Galal Yafai, the Olympic Champion, is about to face his “hardest take a look at” but. Apparently, breezing by way of eight nobodies doesn’t fairly put together you for the massive leagues. And let’s not neglect Sunny “Showtime” Edwards, the man who’s desperately attempting to develop into related once more after getting his behind handed to him in his final combat.

However hey, not less than he beat Yafai within the amateurs, proper? That’s completely related in skilled boxing. One of the best half? They’re preventing for the “interim” WBC World Title.
