He made his debut on January 31, 2015 at the O2 Arena in London . In September 2015, he won the English Championship in his fifth fight against the previously undefeated Louis Norman and defended the title against Phil Smith. In February 2016 he won the WBC International Silver title against Luke Wilton and was able to box on September 10, 2016 in his only ninth fight for the IBF World Flyweight Championship, but lost to John Riel Casimero .

He won his first title defense on March 23, 2019 unanimously on points against the Spaniard Angel Moreno.

On August 31, 2019, he boxed in his second title defense against the Mexican Julio Cesar Martinez Aguilar and was knocked down in the third round and counted by the referee. Since the last blow had hit Edwards when he was already kneeling on the ground, the action was rated as a foul and the fight was judged to be valueless. Edwards remained world champion, and a rematch was agreed.
