Leon Edwards exclusively for Telecom Asia Sport
I believe that mixed martial arts are constantly growing. We're on the right path to achieve the popularity of boxing. In the UK, MMA is more popular than boxing. I love watching boxing just as much as MMA.
On July 2, the Betcity IBA Pro 7 boxing tournament will feature Edwards as a special guest. The main event of the evening will see Russian fighter Albert Batyrgaziev face off against British fighter James Dickens.
