After the decision was announced and Edmondson had celebrated with his jubilant supporters, he retreated back to his dressing room with his tight-knit corner team which included long-time trainer Jacob Macmillan.
After taking photos with the belts, the group paused for breath, taking in the moment and all beaming in realisation at what they had just achieved.
A big motivation and inspiration for the light-heavyweight achieving this was his relationship with former world champion Billy Joe Saunders.
“This was a massive learning fight for me,” added Edmondson, who is also known as ‘The Saint’.
“I’ve got to thank my team and also Billy Joe, he’s been there and believed in me, he pushed for me to be in these big fights.
“He’s been there through the ups and downs, everything. I’ve learned so much from just being around him and it’s brought me on so much to have someone who’s done what he has done in the sport.”
This fight for Edmondson was the latest on a number of Ben Shalom Boxxer shows that he had appeared on, having previously been in action in Bournemouth and Cardiff.
The fighter admitted he is now a free agent having come to the end of his previous agreement with the promotional company, a relationship that Shalom seemed keen to extend further.
“Lewie has worked really hard for this, what a story.” Shalom told BBC Sport.
“He really took his chance, he stepped up a lot of levels and showed his class, It was a close fight but for me the right man won.
“We do have options to take up with him going forward, I want to see him out again quite soon.”
