Who is Ed Matthews’ mystery opponent?

After participating in three fights in the ring, winning two and losing one in less than two years of his career, Ed Matthews has clarified one thing: he avoids leaving the fight to the hands of judges, as all of his bouts have concluded with knockout results.

The debut victory against Simple Simon in the first round on July 16, 2022, marked a significant achievement for the influencer-turned-boxer. Subsequently, in April 2023, he experienced a loss against Blueface, also via knockout. It was only in October of the same year that he secured a win through knockout against Swarmz.

Now, Ed Matthews is geared up for a five-round bout scheduled for January 20th at the First Direct Arena in Leeds, England. Ed is set to headline the inaugural X series event, a collaboration between Misfit and Dazn. Adding to the suspense, the promotions have yet to disclose his opponent, keeping it a mystery as the fight approaches in just two days.
