Evidently, people objected to Edwards referring to them as ‘normal civilians’. Even he is a regular citizen who works as a boxer. In addition, he received criticism for disparaging the two fighters for their ineffective punches.

Upcoming fights that everyone is waiting for 

The biggest boxing fight that everyone is waiting for is the clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. The fight is expected to take place in February next year, and the two will get a chance to become the undisputed world heavyweight champion. Interestingly, the title was last held by boxing legend Lennox Lewis almost 20 years back. So fans are excited to see the new undisputed heavyweight champion.

It was clear that there needs to be a rematch. Both boxers have agreed to the sequel, but a specific date is not revealed yet.
