    Really pleased this fight is happening. It should be his first defence really, but hey ho. Little bit harsh that he got stripped of the title because of injury, especially since they’re fighting now anyway.
    Still , 2 sides to it I suppose. Just happy that Cordina has the chance to get back his title. Don’t know much about Rakhimov, but it looks like a really good matchup worthy of a World Title fight.
    Hope Cordina wins.

    Joe Cordina has been given his wish of a home fight with Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov as he bids to win back the world title he lost without being beaten.

    Unbeaten Cordina, 31, was crowned IBF super-featherweight champion in June 2022 but was controversially stripped of the belt because of injury.

    With Cordina unable to make a defence, mandatory challenger Rakhimov claimed the vacant title last November.

    Cordina will face Rakhimov on 22 April at Cardiff's International Arena.

    That is the venue where Cordina became Wales' 12th world champion boxer when he produced a stunning second-round stoppage of Kenichi Ogawa.

    The Cardiff fighter had been due to face Rakhimov in Abu Dhabi last November in what would have been his first title defence.


    But he suffered a broken hand which required surgery and his inability to fight within a 90-day window saw the IBF rule he should stand down as champion.

    Cordina told BBC Sport Wales he struggled to understand that decision and that it left him contemplating his future in the sport.

    But he said he had "an extra point to prove" as he targeted a bout with Tajikistan's Rakhimov, who became champion when he beat Manchester's Zelfa Barrett.

    shavkatdzhon was dropped in the third round of his last fight with zelfa barrett before coming on to end the fight in the nineth. he also fought to a draw with joseph 'jojo' diaz who missed weight for that fight. joe cordina is coming of his injury & surgery. it is a really good match up, i think joe can end it before the halfway mark, if he doesn't he might be in for a battle down the stretch

    Joe Cordina is set to face Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov on Saturday 22nd April 2023 at Motorpoint Arena Cardiff in Cardiff.

    Joe Cordina: Welsh boxer bids to reclaim world title he never lost.

    The size of the scar tells the story.

    It runs from Joe Cordina's right wrist to the base of his index finger, following surgery to recover from an injury that effectively cost him his IBF super featherweight title. It is a reminder of a painful few months.

    From being on top of the world last June as a stunning right hook defeated Kenichi Ogawa and made him Wales 13th world champion, Cordina's dreams of unification fights were soon broken; he was stripped of his world title status in October without making a single defence.

    Now the Cardiff fighter is back in the Welsh capital and ready to do it all again as he fights for the title he never lost, taking on undefeated champion Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov.

    If big nights of boxing are going to keep coming to Wales, Cordina knows he's the man who will need to make it happen.

    Cordina - who has won all 15 of his professional fights - insists he will not be worrying about his damaged right hand, despite now requiring two operations and being left with a monster scar to prove it.

    He had been scheduled to make his first title defence against Rakhimov last November, but broke his hand during his first sparring session. The Tajikistani fighter went on to win the vacant belt himself by beating England Zelfa Barrett in Abu Dhabi - meaning that Cordina now goes into this contest as the challenger.

    "I can't worry about my hand in this fight," the 31-year old told BBC Sport Wales.

    "I've been 100% since I've been back in the gym, I've been sparring big boys and I have been letting my hands go.

    "If I worry I will come unstuck, I need to go out and do what I do.

    "My hand? If it breaks, it breaks. If it holds up, that's perfect.

    "But I am not going to worry about breaking my hand on his head."

    Rakhimov, 28, is trained by legendary American Freddie Roach - who trained Bernard Hopkins when he was beaten by Welsh great Joe Calzaghe 15 years ago.

    While Roach says he respects Cordina, he feels there are weaknesses that Rakhimov can exploit.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/65343404


    "I'm not impressed with his speed, he's slow to make his shots sometimes," he said.

    "We've watched lots and lots of tape of him.

    "Our guy is stronger and we will attack him and I think we win by KO.

    "It's a great fight in a great city."

    England's Sandy Ryan has the opportunity to win the vacant WBO welterweight title as she takes on Canada's Marie Pier Houle on an undercard that also features plenty of Welsh interest.

    Five Welsh fighters are on the card behind Cordina, with two of them facing each other, as Gavin Gwynne puts his British lightweight title on the line against Craig Woodruff in a rematch of a compelling 2022 fight that ended in a draw.

    Gwynne versus Woodruff is the biggest all-Welsh fight since former WBA light-welterweight champion Gavin Rees' final career fight in 2014, when he bowed out with a win in a rematch against Gary Buckland.

    Two fighters now trained by Rees feature on the undercard - , Commonwealth Games gold medallist Sammy Lee, 24, and 19-year-old Brandon Scott, who did his open workout session on Wednesday dressed as Spider-Man. Nathan Howells is the other Welsh boxer on the undercard.

    "Like Joe Calzaghe did, I want to give other fighters the opportunity to show their talents around the world," Cordina added.

    Cordina will also have an eye on Barrett, who faces American Jason Sanchez on the undercard. If the Englishman wins, and Cordina is successful too, promoter Eddie Hearn has hinted strongly that they could face each other in Cardiff later this year.

    Saw two threads and just merged them up. It'll be good to see Cordina get the strap back is all goes according to plan. Hand injury or no the ibf was way too quick to strip selected fighters. Totally bogus. But Spence with 1 defense in 2.5 years...eh no biggie. Think Cordina can shine here.

    Hate it when there are 2 boxing fights on the same day.

    Barrett v Sanchez on round 8.

    Barrett looked very good!

    Maybe could have stopped him but history played a part.

    He got the win and looked good.
