Career
[edit | edit source]After an amateur career which saw him record 52 wins from 60 bouts,[3] Edmondson had his first professional fight on 27 September 2019, defeating Gianni Antoh on points over four rounds at the Royal Albert Hall in London.[4][5]
Managed by Billy Joe Saunders,[6] he won the vacant British and Commonwealth light-heavyweight titles on 19 October 2024, with a majority decision win over Dan Azeez at London's Copper Box Arena. Despite being deducted a point for delivering a punch after the referee called break in the eighth round, Edmondson was awarded the contest 115–112 and 114–113 respectively by two of the ringside judges, while the third had it a 114–114 draw.[7][8][9]
He made a successful first defense of his Commonwealth title against Nigerian boxer Oluwatosin Kejawa at Bournemouth International Centre on 1 March 2025, winning by unanimous decision.[10][11]
Edmondson challenged IBF Intercontinental light-heavyweight champion Daniel Lapin at Wembley Stadium in London on 19 July 2025.[12] He lost the bout by majority decision, his first defeat as a professional boxer, with two judges favouring his opponent 96–94, overruling the third who scored the contest a 95–95 tie.[13][14]
He was scheduled to defend his British and Commonwealth tities against Ezra Taylor at the O2 Arena in London on 25 October 2025.[15] However, he withdrew six days before the fight due to a hip injury sustained during training camp.[16]
