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.<\/p>\n
“It is exciting to box in front of my family and friends,” Edwards told BBC Sport Wales.<\/p>\n
“To get my family there I will need an entire bus. I am one of 11, I have six brothers and four sisters.<\/p>\n
“My oldest brother Gareth is 32 and my youngest siblings are my two little twin sisters, who are 15.<\/p>\n
“Growing up in a house with so many siblings? It\u2019s crazy.<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n
There have been times that, to best focus on boxing, Edwards has slept where he trains, at the Phoenix Boxing Club in Llanrumney.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
