Andrew Cain v Charlie Edwards - Tale of the Tape: Weight, height, reach, trainers, records & more

We analyse the credentials and statistics of British and Commonwealth bantamweight champion Andrew Cain and Charlie Edwards as the two domestic rivals get set to square-off for both belts in Liverpool on Saturday 15th March, 2025.

Andrew Cain will defend his British and Commonwealth bantamweight titles against Charlie Edwards at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on the undercard of Nick Ball v TJ Doheny.

Cain will look to prove he has learnt lesson from his 2023 defeat to Ionut Baluta, as he faces the toughest test of his career, to date.

For Edwards, this is last chance saloon.

Despite being a once-beaten former world champion, the Surrey fighter has struggled for opportunities as of late, and defeat on Merseyside may force him to hang up the gloves.

The big question is who will prevail when these two foes lock horns?

Before we find out, let's take a look at the 'Tale of the Tape'.

Andrew Cain - In Profile

There are few fighters as fan-friendly as Andrew Cain, in Britian.

He throws every punch with spite, as proved by his 12 stoppages in 13 wins, with all of those coming within the first five rounds.

The 28-year-old is extremely comfortable fighting at close-quarters, where he can utilise his variety of hooks and uppercuts.

When it works, it looks very impressive, however, we have already seen that his approach is flawed.

The Scouser dropped Ionut Baluta twice in the opening round of their 2023 bout, but was unable to get rid of the tough Romanian.

Baluta subsequently grew into the fight as the rounds went by, forcing the prospect to work at an intense pace.

Cain began to wilt and was dropped in the ninth round, and ultimately, two judges felt Baluta had done enough to secure the victory.

Charlie Edwards poses an interesting stylistic challenge for Cain.

The challenger will look to box and move, he will have little interest in standing and trading.

Can the Liverpudlian cut off the ring successfully or will Edwards have him chasing shadows? Time will tell.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Power	Fades late in fights
Body shots	Lack of head movement
Combinations	Stays in range too long
Applies pressure	Can be pinned to the ropes

Charlie Edwards - In Profile

Ten-years ago, Charlie Edwards entered the professional ranks with a fair bit of fanfare.

The Surrey fighter had been a member of the Team GB Podium Squad and had impressed enough to earn a promotional deal with Matchroom.

The early portion of his career saw Edwards fight on arena shows up and down the country, with his bouts televised live on Sky Sports.

A world title challenge against John Riel Casimero in his ninth fight was a case of too much, too soon.

However, he rebounded to capture the WBC flyweight title, two years later.

His title reign was short lived though as, in his second defence, he was stopped by Julio Cesar Martinez in the third round, until the result was changed to a No Contest after the challenger was deemed to have punched the Englishman while he was down.

That was in 2019, and in the intervening years, the 32-year-old has been in the boxing wilderness - fighting just five times in the four-and-a-half years since.

While he once boxed in some of the biggest venues in Britain, he has traded the salubrious surroundings for small halls, although Edwards did build some momentum in 2024, as he defeated Thomas Essomba to become European bantamweight champion.

Having been frozen out before, Edwards will be aware this could be the end if he loses to Cain.

As such, expect him to fight like his career hangs in the balance.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Jab	Reaches with his punches
Gets out of range after throwing his shots	Head falls over the front foot
Accuracy	Lack of one-punch power
Timing	Stays in range too long
