Edwards, 33, returned to the O2 for the first time since being dethroned as 170lbs champ by Belal Muhammad last July.

But his bid to become a two-time champion suffered a body blow thanks to Philadelphia pounder Brady, who submitted him in the third round of their clash at the North Greenwich dome.

Edwards went into his comeback bout hellbent on silencing his critics with his first finish since his iconic knockout of Kamaru Usman in August 2022.
