Welsh featherweight Rhys Edwards has signed a long-term deal with promoter Boxxer.
The 24-year old can now potentially appear on future cards headlined by Welsh world champion Lauren Price, who is also with Boxxer.
“It feels amazing to sign a long-term deal with a big promotion like BOXXER,” said Edwards.
“They gave me my first chance on the big stage and have delivered me some very good fights so it’s nice to sign with them as they have been good to me.
“I just want good performances and wins against good fighters and titles, and hopefully the British Featherweight Title before the end of the year.”
Boxxer founder & CEO Ben Shalom said: “We’re delighted to have secured Rhys’ signature. He has a very bright future ahead of him.
“Together with Lauren Price, I believe he can lead a resurgence in Welsh boxing and bring more big nights back to Cardiff.”
Edwards signs for Boxxer in the week his stablemate Jay Harris retired from the boxing, citing lack of opportunity having never signed a deal with one of the major UK promoters.
