He won his next 6 fights before facing Shinny Bayaar for the British flyweight title on 15 Dec 2010, at the Kings Hall, Belfast, Northern Ireland. Edwards won by first round technical knockout (TKO) after Bayaar suffered a cut above his left eye.[1]

On 11 June 2011, Edwards made the first defence of his British flyweight title against Chris Edwards at the Olympia, Liverpool. Edwards lost the title by split decision, with one judges’ scorecard reading 115–114, and the other two 113–115.[2]
