Rodriguez Vs. Edwards: Where To Watch Info
The unified flyweight clash between Jesse Rodriguez and Sunny Edwards takes place on December 16th, 2023, live on DAZN.
Rodriguez defends his WBO belt, which he won after beating Cristian Gonzalez via a unanimous decision. His record is 18-0. 11 of those victories have come from stoppages. Success takes Rodriguez a step closer to being undisputed.
“I respect him as a person, I said yesterday though that on social media he likes to talk but in person he doesn’t. If I didn’t want this fight, I wouldn’t be here. We wanted it and that’s why we’re here. I am going to do you like Julio Cesar Martinez did to your brother. We’re ready, he’ll see, just tune in on DAZN. Bam Rodriguez, unified champion on Saturday night,” Rodriguez
The IBF champion, Edwards, puts his belt on the line for the fifth time. His record stands at 20-0, but only four of those wins have been by way of stoppages. His last fight was a victory over Andres Campos via a unanimous decision. Here is everything you need to know about the fight and where to watch it.
“I know how hard it was to get you and your team to accept this fight. You didn’t want this fight. On Saturday night you are going to be like your brother, retired. You have no heart for this. Everyone says ‘game plan, game plan, game plan’ but it all goes out of the window when you can’t lay a glove on me. Facts. I’m not worried about this kid,” Edwards

“I think that this is one of the fights of the year, the big unification match-up between Jesse Rodriguez and Sunny Edwards, the WBO and IBF World titles on the line. It’s so unique to see the best vs. the best, and this is unquestionably the best vs. the best of the division.
“When we signed Sunny, he said he wanted any champion at any moment, and Jesse has had an incredible run, and it’s unusual two see to young, undefeated guys in their complete prime who are willing to risk it all at this stage.
“No marinating fights, no stringing fights out, no fighting weaker champions – this is just the best vs. the best. On the undercard, there’s so many well matched and important fights for everyone’s career, it’s a massive night not to be missed, live on DAZN,” Eddie Hearn said
