Edwards, the former WBC flyweight champion, lost an unusual fight to his fellow Englishman Andrew Cain at 118lbs. He has since returned to super flyweight in recognition of a mistake he had made, but that defeat means that another, against the 31-year-old Nqothole, would likely leave his options limited, and it is perhaps for that reason that he takes comfort from fighting at the famed York Hall.
