Saw this earlier, think there's 2 videos.
Thought it was pretty funny. Fair play to all involved.

The troll guy seemed abit mentally ill and there was something about him needing money hopefully the youtube guys sort him out :TU:

I really didn’t enjoy that.

The spar is an extremely uncomfortable watch.

Was he a Troll or just someone asking to spar?

Didn't he say he'd asked other boxers & MMA guys to spar?
He seemed very respectful beforehand .. certainly no Charlie Zelenoff.

There was a fairly recent one of Gavin Rees sparing a guy trolling him - which turned out to be his actual mate and someone he trains in gym

Would of been a laugh if he was beating up a 6 foot bloke that cant box. But sunny matched himself well against a suposid troll who is also a flyweight...

Sunny is still the most irritating pudendum in boxing, honestly Id rather listen to broner talk...

Sunny clearly toyed with him, the fella literally asked for it, wouldn't mind seeing a few more trolls getting a life lesson for all to see, far too many people sat behind a social media account dishing out verbals without consequence, as for his mental well-being, Im no expert but his mental health isnt Edwards concern, man talks smack and gets taught a lesson, if anything going by his reaction afterwards it's done the trick, kudos for stepping in the ring though I'll give him that

While an uncomfortable watch, Edwards def didn't take any liberties.

Nevertheless the guy seemed mentally ill, and it wasn't like he was shouting his mouth off and needed to be shut up.

I would be interested to know whether the fella was a troll(he seemed respectful) or someone who just wanted to spar.

Anyway as I said, even if it was someone who wanted a spar, Edwards was sensible with him and just took him around.

I hope someone gave him a lift to the train station.

Well done by Edwards. Thought him a lesson and didn't really hurt him. Just made him work for two rounds which is way too much for average guy to do.

Good job :TU:

I wonder if they get people like this to sign some sort of disclaimer that they are declaring themselves fit enough to take part in a spar? Edwards didn't take liberties and mainly went to the body and even then he wasn't hitting him that hard.

Don’t know why he gave him the time to be honest.

Edwards looked after him to a point. All looked a bit staged to me.

I think the bloke is just after publicity, he’s been interviewed and on TV since and clearly after upping his profile

Edwards could have hurt him bad. He chose not to. I respect that

Possibly the guy was just a fight fan who wanted to share the ring with a top fighter to have the experience of saying he did so; every casual wishes they boxed. I don't think that qualifies him as a troll.

Edwards wasn't a bully. But without a bit more info to back it up, it doesn't feel nice seeing the guy embarrassed as a troll.

Advertised as a fight fan who wanted to go a couple rounds would have given both guys more respect.

I think he was sending Edwards abusive messages on twitter beforehand, hence being called a troll

It doesn't mention that though does it - it's just what we assume when someone gets described as a troll.

As said; Gavin Rees had a similar fight with a troll who was actually a mate and guy he trained at his gym.

Edwards talks about it about 5 mins in, says he offered him a fight and can't believe he turned up because they never do, then the interviewer calls the bloke a twitter troll

Not at all the same. A lot of people saw this guy trolling Sunny on Twitter. Sunny was playing with him. Rees hit the much bigger bloke with spite then wrote about him "mouthing off".

Kind of juvenile of Edwards. Makes me think he’s a kunt. If in fact that guy was trolling him on social media, as an alphabet belt holder he should be bigger than this. It would be like a Nobel Prize winner in medicine having a televised debate on COVID ridiculing Kronky for spouting nonsense
