DAVAO CITY – Undefeated Jayson “Smasher” Mama of Gen. Santos City will challenge reigning champion Sunny "Showtime" Edwards of the United Kingdom for the International Boxing Federation world flyweight title on Sept. 11 at the Copper Box Arena, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Hackney Wick, London, UK.
“After many years in my pro boxing career this is it,” said 24-year-old Mama in a Facebook message.
Under the watchful eyes of trainer Ronerex Dalut, Mama (16W-0L, 9KOs) is presently sparring with former World Boxing Organisation Asia Pacific Super Flyweight champion Froilan “The Sniper” Saludar, undefeated super flyweight RV Deniega and newly-crowned WBA Asia South Flyweight champion Dave “Dobermann” Apolinar.
“I’m very happy,” said Mama, who recently retired Romshane Sarquilla of Cotabato in the 8th round last April 30, 2021 at Sanman Gym in Gensan.
Edwards, 25, (16W-0L, 4KOs), on the other hand, took the IBF world flyweight crown away from Moruti Mthalane of South Africa by unanimous decision last April 30, 2021 at the York Hall, Bethnal Green in UK.
The bubble boxing event is promoted by Frank Warren of Queensberry Promotions. Steve Furness is the matchmaker while the media is the United Kingdom BT Sport.
