This is Edwards' fourth defence of his IBF world flyweight title.
The Brit won the belt two years ago at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London, when defeating champion Moruti Mthalane by unanimous decision.
Edwards is one of only four male British world champions in the sport of boxing and the undefeated flyweight world champion is seeking to unify the division within the next 12 months.
The 27-year-old holds an unblemished record after 19 professional bouts, with four knockouts to his name.
He began his pro career back in 2016 in the bantamweight division and has picked up a number of belts on his way to world honours including the European and International titles at super flyweight.
Edwards' last eight wins have all been comfortable unanimous decisions on the judges' scorecards and his last win via stoppage came in 2018 when he knocked Czech Patrik Bartos down three times in the second round.
Chile's Andres Campos currently sits at number seven in the IBF rankings and comes into this bout with an undefeated record after 15 professional bouts.
The 26-year-old has knocked out 15 of his opponents, including his most recent success earlier this year when he stopped Argentinian Carlos Ruben Dario Ruiz in round four of an eight-round bout.
This is Campos' first-ever world title fight and his first scheduled over 12 rounds, although he has completed 10 rounds five times in his last seven bouts.
Edwards is the first opponent to face Campos carrying an undefeated record since his points win over Pedro Villegas in 2020, this is also only the second time the Chilean has fought outside of South America.
