Former world champion Joe Cordina was spotted training in Cardiff, Welsh boxing media pressed him on reports linking him to Manny Pacquiao. Cordina smiled and declined to give a direct denial, stating that "massive news is coming for Welsh fight fans" ahead of December 11.
Negotiations are actively progressing between MP Promotions, Matchroom, and Riyadh Season to finalize the co-headliner for the Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury mega-card at Principality Stadium. Cordina would be jumping up in weight to meet Pacquiao near the 147-pound limit, creating an intriguing speed-versus-experience matchup in front of 80,000 local fans. Pacquiao’s conditioning team in General Santos confirmed that Manny has been sparring eight rounds per session in preparation for an international announcement next week. Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn noted that locking in a major secondary attraction is vital to finalizing Netflix’s global broadcast timeline.
