That number has been bet down with Edwards support from bettors. Here are the current odds for Edwards vs. Usman III:
Fight Odds
Leon Edwards +270
Kamaru Usman -330
Edwards was optimistic coming intot this weekend.
“Yeah, 100 percent, that’s what I’ve been told, that’s what my team has been told,” Edwards told Michael Bisping on Believe You Me. “I spoke to the UFC last week, I think, and they said, ‘The fight’s on, he’s already training for the fight.’
“I am aiming towards that, and if anything changes in the meantime, we’ll go from there. But now I’m focused on the trilogy with Usman in London.”
Back in August, Edwards knocked out Usman at 4:04 of the fifth and final round. This win effectively snapped Usman's historic streak.
