After his losing TKO with Galale Yafai last Saturday, Sunlit Edwards took to a press conference after the fight to talk about his thoughts about the fight and why he does not think that he already has in him to continue the fight. Here are some of what he had to say.
Edwards continued, if he ever thought about the fight, knowing he wasn’t ready for it
“I do not pull myself out, senior. I have two children for some reason. I will be real, I do not pull out. If I am perfectly, I touch 20 years in a boxing career, a professional for about eight and I was busy. Every time when he enters the ring, it absorbs my life, my happiness, my effort, spent time.
“I lacked so many sports days, I missed so many first children to do it, and when my body was falling apart, I couldn’t survive the camp for four, five years without a bad wrist, a bad arm, two bad cubes. Camp because I couldn’t walk.
“But I will be real, senior. I really liked everything that the boxing offered me so far. Maybe part of it begins to enjoy the other side of the box and starts to put the effort to the other side of the box – commentary, comment. The camp was bulky, he was bulky, it was tough, there was a lot of changes, I took the fight, I didn’t have a coach … The next four rounds were for Chris.
About what he considered his best moment in the ring during his career
“Probably fighting BAM, if I’m straightforward. Bam’s fight was a real dream. I know.
“I think that people do not realize how ecstatic I am here all the time. I always believe in myself and I always thought that I can be and would be one of the best in the world, but they just see that the division of fly weight is growing in some. Eight, nine, ten fights at 112 pounds, I don’t know how many people did it or do it.
“But I will be real, I just feel that I really knew from the camp, maybe even if I am perfectly a hundred since the Curiel fight – after this fight I was in tears. Everything that was ahead of me – I don’t know, senior – I just didn’t feel it.
About how quickly he knew it would not be his night against Yafai
“I mean that I was still fighting. I understand why S. He stopped the fight. I was a bit surprised that yes. Rounds, but yes, not before Ref.
“I don’t know. Maybe I need this hatred, this malice again. I don’t think I have in me to hate anyone, and not in this world. I think I twisted a turn in my thinking.”
