Fight Details

Sunny Edwards squares off against Adrian Curiel in a 12-round flyweight bout as the principal support for the blockbuster world title fight between Juan Francisco Estrada and Jesse Rodriguez at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona on Saturday, June 29, broadcast live worldwide on DAZN.

Both contenders aim to rebound from their losses and reclaim world champion status. Edwards returns to the arena of his last bout—a unification clash in December—where he faced “Bam” Rodriguez. The British fighter’s IBF title was on the line against the WBO champion but he suffered his first professional defeat in a thrilling ninth-round stoppage. Now, Edwards aims to recapture the IBF belt, which Bam vacated to face Estrada.
