Rhys Edwards will battle Gully Powar for the British featherweight title on April 4th. The bout will be part of the undercard for Lauren Price's world title defense against Stephanie Aquino in Cardiff. The fight will be broadcast live on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, starting at 20:00 GMT. Edwards is eager for this opportunity, calling it a dream come true to fight for the title.

Edwards, 25, has a record with only one loss, having bounced back from a defeat in 2024. His opponent, 23-year-old Powar, is gaining recognition after competing in the WBC Boxing Grand Prix. Powar boasts 13 wins and one loss. Promoter Ben Shalom described the fight as a contest between two ambitious fighters.

The fight night marks the fourth collaboration between Boxxer and the BBC. Unbeaten unified champion Price will defend her titles, with a potential undisputed bout against Mikaela Mayer later this year. Price also expressed her desire to fight Katie Taylor, eyeing a stadium fight in Ireland or Wales.

This British title fight is a significant step for both Edwards and Powar. A win would elevate either fighter's profile and potentially open doors to bigger opportunities. The undercard appearance, combined with the BBC broadcast, offers great exposure for the sport and the fighters involved.
