Ahead of the bout, Edwards warned Covington after the American spoke about the Brit’s late father, he said: “That man is as good as dead tomorrow. Make sure you keep everything you said about my dad. Tomorrow, we can settle it.”
Previously speaking about his father’s passing, Edwards said: “It was probably like 2am. I was in my room. Mum was in her room. We hear the phone ringing. I heard her crying, and I knew from then something bad, you know.
“Eventually, she came into my room and just told me this, your dad’s just got killed in London. It was something to do with money. I don't know what exactly. It was some mad s***, but I knew that it could happen.”

“All our troops past and present. And the whole entire MAGA movement. You can delay us, but you cannot deny us. Trump is taking back the White House and I’m taking back the undisputed tomorrow night. This one’s for America, let’s go!”
