Both men had no issue making weight for their showdown at the North Greenwich Dome.
Former welterweight king Edwards tipped the scales first during the early-morning weigh-ins, coming in at 171lbs.
He was followed shortly afterwards by American Brady, who came in at the championship weight of 170lbs.
Weigh-ins completed, all that remained was for the pair to go head-to-head at the ceremonial weigh-ins, which took place at the O2.
Brady received a chorus of boos from the pro-Edwards crowd as he completed his final pre-fight formalities.
Edwards, however, was given a hero’s welcome, with chants of ‘”‘Rocky’, ‘Rocky’, ‘Rocky’” piercing through the air.
And the duo went nose-to-nose in their second and final face-off before fight night.
Edwards’ showdown with Brady will be his first outing since being throned as welterweight champion by Belal Muhammad last July.

And the Brummie plans to erase the memory of the ill-fated morning in Manchester with a vintage display.
The fan favourite said: “I need to go out there and put a full stop on this fight.
“And I need to go out there and prove to the world that I’m still the best in the world.
“And for me to go out and do that, I don’t feel like a decision is enough.
“I feel like a finish is the only way.”
