WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson and former IBF 130-lb champion Joe Cordina are in talks for a fight. Cordina (17-1, 9 KOs) will make his debut at 135 for this fight, which has yet to be made.
Joe Cordina retained his IBF 130 pound title last night in Monaco, this via 12 round majority decision against challenger Edward Vazquez.
Edward Vazquez (15-2, 3 KOs) was the victim of a robbery on Saturday night, losing a twelve round majority decision to IBF super featherweight champion Joe Cordina (17-0, 9 KOs) in a fight that has fans on social media hopping mad.
Joe Cordina (17-0, 9 KOs) held onto his IBF super featherweight title with an unimpressive twelve round majority decision over Edward Vazquez (15-2, 3 KOs) in their headliner on Saturday night in a fight that easily could have gone the other way at the Casino de Monte Carlo in Monte Carlo, Monaco.
This Saturday during the afternoon and at night in the States, boxing fans have two interesting main events to sink their teeth into.
IBF super featherweight champion Joe Cordina says he’d like to face Shakur Stevenson, Leigh Wood, or WBC 130-lb champ O’Shaquie Foster next after his title defense against #9 Edward Vazquez this Saturday night, November 4th, on DAZN at the Casino de Monte Carlo Salle Medecin, Monte Carlo.
Fighting in front of his home crowd at the Cardiff International Arena in Wales, Joe Cordina (16-0, 9 KOs) recaptured his IBF super featherweight title by defeating champion Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov (17-1-1, 14 KOs) by a 12 round split decision on Saturday night on DAZN.
Talk about being hit with a hefty two-punch combo. In upsetting news – upsetting for two reasons – recently crowned IBF 130 pound champion Joe Cordina has announced how he has been forced to pull out of his scheduled November 5 mandatory title defence against Shavkat Rakhimov due to a hand injury and the recovery time he will need due to the surgery he has undergone (Joe has posted photos of his post-surgery hand on social media).
Going into last night’s fight with Kenichi Ogawa, Joe Cordina was taking a risk, maybe a big risk. In the end, the Welshman won by something big – a big KO – and he is now IBF 130 pound champion.
