Charlie Edwards vs Georges Ory: Start time, TV channel and FREE live stream, full undercard for huge York Hall clash
ALL eyes will turned towards York Hall TONIGHT as Charlie Edwards takes on Georges Ory for the WBC International silver bantamweight title.
At 31, Edwards has a stellar record of 18-1-0, his only loss coming all the way back in 2016 to John Riel Casemiro in an IBF World Flyweight clash.
He went on to win the British super-flyweight title in 2017, before taking the WBC flyweight title between 2018 and 2019.
Edwards vacated that title later that year following a No Contest against Julio Cesar Martinez and due to health concerns about making flyweight - and has fought at bantamweight ever since.
Edwards has since beaten Kyle Williams, Jacob Barreto and Darwing Martinez since moving up in weight.
He is the older brother of flyweight champion Sunny Edwards and the two often jokingly call each other out on social media.

What's been said?
Writing in a column for the , Edwards said: "They call York Hall the spiritual home of British boxing.
"Those old walls have seen the best fighters in British fight history perform and when that place is full, there is nowhere like it in the world.
"I’m a son of Croydon, but now live in Portugal and train in Liverpool, so coming back to London next week will be amazing.
"My opponent Georges Ory is a very good fighter, he’s a former European champion and won a version of the world title at super flyweight, but I will bet that he has never experienced anything quite like the red-hot atmosphere you only get at a packed York Hall.
"I can’t allow myself to be caught up in the emotion of the night, even though it would be easy to, given the difficulties and challenges I’ve encountered over the last few years."
