Leon Edwards is under fire for not concentrating on the job at hand. Edwards, who lost his welterweight title to Belal Muhammad, is slated to face Sean Brady next. However, instead of focusing on the upcoming game, Edwards has recently been talking about his loss. The former champion opined that he was injured and not fully fit as he fought. Edwards also added that he underestimated Muhammad which cost him the match. And all these statements are not sitting well with Sean Brady.
With the all important match coming up, Brady thinks that Edwards must be razor focused on his current game. Thus, it is of utmost importance for Edwards to first deal with the incoming threat rather than concentrate on being the number 1 contender.
“I think that’s a bad look on Leon, to be thinkin’ about other people when all I’m thinkin’ about is fighting him. He’s thinking about number one contenders, getting back at Belal and talking s*** about Belal,” said Brady.
"That's a bad look on Leon."
