SUNNY EDWARDS taught a social media troll a lesson after he dared to enter the ring with the world champion.
The 26-year-old Briton invited Twitter user Fab Tanga to his gym in Sheffield to put his money where his mouth is.

Remarkably, Tanga agreed and spent £110 on a train to travel 200 miles from London to Sheffield to fight Edwards.
Unsurprisingly, it was a very one-sided affair and Tanga lasted just over six minutes before exhaustion prompted him to call it quits.
Edwards played with his opponent all the time, dancing around and poking whenever he felt like it.
At one point, he even hid behind Tanga as his wild swings became increasingly desperate.
The 18-0 boxer took it easy on Tanga most of the time, but did land a big left hook that sent his opponent out backwards on the ropes.
One last big shot eventually settled the game with Tanga falling to his knees before leaning on the ropes to catch his breath.
Despite the animosity beforehand with Tanga calling Edwards a “coward”, both men were in a good mood after the fight.
Edwards clearly respected Tanga for being true to his word and having the courage to go into the ring, so the pair posed for a post-fight photo, along with Edwards calling his opponent a “champion.”

Edwards was respectful the whole time and could have done some serious damage had he chosen to, but instead decided to give light jabs and backed off from his bigger punches.
Realizing the fight was on with Tanga waiting outside his gym, Edwards said on Twitter: “No, you’re cold to come. I’ve got my kids until 7 and I’ll come get you and we’ll go to the fitness center.”
Tanga wasn’t happy with the prospect of fighting kids, so Edwards made a Twitter plea for someone to take care of his kids so he could fight the Londoner.
After the fight, Edwards tweeted: “In all seriousness respect for Tanga
for four hours by train from London to Sheffield, on his own back and dragging me off the couch for a few rounds of sparring.”
Tanga appreciated Edwards taking the time to spar and said: “I just want to say with all my heart, thank you Sunny Edwards, you showed me there is at least one SUPER CHAMPION in the UK.
“I’ll pray to God to protect you, your family and friends. He’s fast, he’s really fast, 84 pounds for back in London.”
