Charlie Edwards says his ultimate ambition is to become “an all-time great in British boxing” as he begins his WBC World title reign against Spain’s Angel Moreno at London’s Copper Box Arena on March 23.

The 25-year-old Steel City gym talent is thrilled to be making the first defence of his Flyweight crown.

“Headlining my own show is a dream come true in itself,” said Edwards. “I'm incredibly thankful to Eddie Hearn and Adam Smith for giving me this opportunity. There’s some great fighters and match-ups on my undercard. I feel really luck and blessed. I’ve also got former GB teammates on the show as well. There’s something for everyone so it can’t disappoint."
