Charlie Edwards says second world title would mean more than first

Charlie Edwards believes regaining a world title would eclipse his original championship triumph. The former WBC flyweight champion faces a final eliminator that could put him back in line for another belt.

“It would mean the world to me, probably even more so than the first time around because they say it's hard to get to the top of the mountain once but trust me, it's even harder to get there twice.”

Edwards won the WBC flyweight title in 2018 but vacated the following year. He has since moved up in weight and is targeting a second world championship in a different division. The final eliminator represents his clearest path back to title contention.

What it moves

Edwards will need to navigate the eliminator before any sanctioning decision is made on a mandatory challenger. A victory would position him for a shot at whichever champion the governing body orders him to face, though no timeline has been set for that fight.
