ESPN+ to air London show on Saturday

Sunny “Showtime” Edwards, brother of WBC flyweight champion Charlie Edwards, will face off against Mexico's Rosendo Guarneros (16-2-2, 8 KOs) in a flyweight battle on Saturday afternoon from London’s historic York Hall. The card, presented by Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, will begin streaming at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT on ESPN+. The Edwards-Guarneros card will set the stage for Saturday’s most significant fight, a Las Vegas contest between former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and unbeaten Otto Wallin (ESPN+, 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT). Sunny Edwards (12-0, 4 KOs) is dropping down in weight from 115 pounds.
 
He is 2-0 thus far in 2019, defeating Hiram Gallardo and Pedro Matos in statement-making performances that streamed live on ESPN+. Guarneros will be making his first ring appearance outside of Mexico but is coming off perhaps his most significant win to date, an eight-round unanimous decision over Luis Gerardo Castillo (26-1 at the time).
