The duo then proceeded to face each other in the ring. Tanga tried throwing big swings at Edwards. However, he was unable to land any punches and was met with tasteful mockery from the flyweight maestro.
On the other hand, when Edwards took an offensive stance, the tables quickly turned and Tanga was downed almost instantly. It is also worth noting that Edwards is considered the best active flyweight in the sport.

One is stupid to think that they would have a chance against a boxer if they are not themselves a boxer.
younger I played around with a boxer friend, whithin 30 seconds I understood, boxers are no joke, it is an art.

Meanwhile, a few users were confused as to why Tanga would challenge a boxing champion. Moreover, user @andy_heath7 mentioned that most people are unaware of how good champion boxers are. In fact, user @simplyzak even states that Tanga was st*pid to think that he would have a chance against a professional boxer without being a boxer himself.
Imagine Tyson back in the day having someone call him a wanker on twitter, inviting that person to spar & they show up. LOOOL 😂😂

On the other hand, user @dannysnooker hilariously pondered a potential scenario where a troll challenged a prime Mike Tyson.
I kindnof think, that sunny should be above all this, he is a world champion, he don't have to prove nothing to a nobody, silly really.
— Shehan Berhardt (@ShehanBerhardt) July 23, 2022
Conversely, user @ShehanBerhardt felt that Edwards should not have fought Tanga. The user also stated that being a world champion, Edwards had nothing to prove.
I actually give him credit for showing up
— Jonny (@gibmayte) July 23, 2022
