Joe Cordina has revealed the extent to which he remains “sickened” by his defeat by Anthony Cacace

Joe Cordina was willing to remain at super featherweight to again fight Anthony Cacace



Joe Cordina’s trainer believed he was finished at super featherweight before the Welshman agreed to fight Anthony Cacace

Having spent years looking down from the top of the WBO junior lightweight rankings, Archie Sharp suddenly found himself looking up at Argentina’s unheralded Reuquen Arce.


Eddie Hearn has confirmed that Joe Cordina will move up to lightweight after losing his IBF junior lightweight title to Anthony Cacace on Saturday (May 18) night.

The outstanding IBF super featherweight title fight between Joe Cordina and Anthony Cacace has been lost in the wake of Oleksandr Usyk’s history making decision victory over Tyson Fury.

Anthony Cacace has waited years for a big fight. “The Apache” has been unlucky, avoided and prone to injury during his 12-year career but he saved his finest performance for the biggest stage of all. The unheralded 35 year old IBO super featherweight champion produced a superb display to outlast and stop previously unbeaten IBF champion, Joe Cordina, in eight brutal rounds.
