WBC super flyweight world champion Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez says he “loves” the idea of a future fight with IBF flyweight world champion Sunny Edwards. 

Rodriguez’s coach, Robert Garcia, recently raised the prospect of the super flyweight title holder moving down a division to face ‘Showtime’. 

Rodriguez must first defend his world title in September. He will defend the belt against Israel Gonzalez on September 17th, as the co-featured bout to the Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennadiy Golovkin trilogy at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

As BoxingScene previously reported, Edwards is potentially heading in the direction of a unification showdown with WBC Julio Cesar Martinez in the fall.

Rodriguez, who many regard as one of the best fighters in the sport, does not have a problem with challenging IBF champ Edwards in the UK. 

He doesn't see any problem with getting down to 112 - although he expects to capture a lot more titles, at higher weights, in the coming years.

“I love that fight,” Rodriguez told Boxing News. 

 I’ve always watched when an American goes to the UK and fights the UK fighters.  It’s something I’ve always wanted to experience.  So, if the opportunity presented itself, I would take it right away.” 

“112-pounds  I can still make that. I mean, I make 115 fairly easily, so a few more pounds wouldn’t be a problem.  With the team I have, they know what they’re doing and they know how to cut weight, so I’m in good hands, and we do plan on going back down to 112.   

“But, at 115, I feel better than ever.  I feel strong.  And I’m only 22 years old, so my power’s still gonna come.  I’m not even a full-grown man.  So, at the end of my career, I believe I’ll probably be around 126-130.”
