After an amateur career which saw him record 52 wins from 60 bouts, Edmondson had his first professional fight on 27 September 2019, defeating Gianni Antoh on points over four rounds at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Managed by Billy Joe Saunders, he won the vacant British and Commonwealth light-heavyweight titles on 19 October 2024, with a majority decision win over Dan Azeez at London's Copper Box Arena. Despite being deducted a point for delivering a punch after the referee called break in the eighth round, Edmondson was awarded the contest 115–112 and 114–113 respectively by two of the ringside judges, while the third had it a 114–114 draw.

He made a successful first defense of his Commonwealth title against Nigerian boxer Oluwatosin Kejawa at Bournemouth International Centre on 1 March 2025, winning by unanimous decision.

Edmondson challenged IBF Intercontinental light-heavyweight champion Daniel Lapin at Wembley Stadium in London on 19 July 2025. He lost the bout by majority decision, his first defeat as a professional boxer, with two judges favouring his opponent 96–94, overruling the third who scored the contest a 95–95 tie.

He was scheduled to defend his British and Commonwealth tities against Ezra Taylor at the O2 Arena in London on 25 October 2025. However, he withdrew six days before the fight due to a hip injury sustained during training camp.
