Edwards, who first won the IBF title in April of last year, was presented with a championship ring by an IBF official. He said, “I have been waiting for this ring, and I was meant to fly out to the IBF convention to receive it. But to be presented with it here, in Sheffield, means more, it is more personal. There is only one night left now, and that’s fight night. I am really looking forward to it and I really hope the Utilita Arena stands up and makes some noise tomorrow.”
