Edwards has sold hundreds of tickets for his fight on Saturday at the Utilita Arena, but he admits he has a bit of a head start on some of his stablemates due to the sheer size of his family.
“It is exciting to box in front of my family and friends,” Edwards told BBC Sport Wales.
“To get my family there I will need an entire bus. I am one of 11, I have six brothers and four sisters.
“My oldest brother Gareth is 32 and my youngest siblings are my two little twin sisters, who are 15.
“Growing up in a house with so many siblings? It’s crazy.
“Also, as a boxer it isn’t very helpful sometimes. There are so many sweets and ways to cheat – the temptation is always there. Living out of the house with my partner and her mother, it’s a lot easier that way.”
There have been times that, to best focus on boxing, Edwards has slept where he trains, at the Phoenix Boxing Club in Llanrumney.
“Sometimes the easiest thing was to just sleep in the gym, just so I could fully focus and not take any short cuts,” he said.
“Sometimes you just needed to escape the chaos and the temptations. If I ever needed to do that, I would just sleep in the gym.”
