The unbeaten middleweight will fight Mike Shipman at a Bellator show on Nov. 23 at SSE Arena, Wembley in London, officials announced Wednesday. Several other bouts were also added, including the debut of recently signed Cage Warriors champion Soren Bak.
Edwards (8-0) targeted a matchup with Shipman back in February, hoping to meet his rival at Bellator Birmingham. Edwards would instead face Falco Neto at the May 4 event, defeating him with a spectacular combination started by an up-kick. “The Assassin” has won all three of his fights in 2019.
