Ex-BBNaija star Edwards wins boxing debut

Edwards, who announced his unexpected turn from athletics to professional boxing in April, participated in the Misfits Boxing Cruiserweight division, run by English social media personality and Nigerian-born professional boxer, Olajide Williams, professionally known as KSI.

In a post on X.com on Saturday, Misfits Boxing wrote, “An impressive MFB debut for #aireyys as he gets the decision victory. Mike Edwards gets his first #MisfitsBoxing win.”

PUNCH reported in April that Edwards reiterated his decision to join the cruiserweight division of Misfits Boxing, marking a significant departure from his track and field roots.

He said, “Breaking News: Excited to announce my entry into the world of professional boxing! Thrilled to join the Cruiserweight division roster on #MisfitsBoxing. Get ready for an electrifying debut as I step into the ring to showcase my skills and determination.”
