Sunny Edwards is a young, up and coming fighter who is one of the best flyweights in the division. He will put his unbeaten record on the line against one of Pakistan's most talented fighters. Muhammad Waseem is the first Pakistani boxer to ever top the WBA boxing ranking in any category. His swift style and movement earned him the nickname 'Falcon'. It will be an electric, fast-paced fight.

For Waseem, it is one of the biggest fights of his life, as he gets to challenge for the title once again. For Edwards, it is an opportunity to solidy his status as champion and challenge for the rest of the belts. This is Sunny Edwards' second event in Dubai.

Sunny Edwards reveals why he parted ways with Frank Warren

The Brit spoke about his split from Frank Warren and Queensberry Promotions. Edwards spoke to Boxing King Media about how the split benefits him:

"Don't get me wrong, like I said, relation that I had and I built with BT and everyone down at Queesnberry, it was good, you know what I mean? It was good. I think I'm in a position now though, where my main focus is search and destroying and going up down, left right, round about, whatever the big exciting fights are. And I feel like at this stage of my career, maybe not being tied to a promoter will definitely help that."
