With Shakur Stevenson pursuing alternate dates, matchmakers have identified a new candidate to share the ring with Manny Pacquiao in Cardiff.
Cordina, a native of Cardiff, Wales, offers event organizers a local ticket draw to headline the undercard at the 80,000-seat Principality Stadium. Pacquiao's camp confirmed that negotiations are progressing around an agreed catchweight near the 147-pound welterweight limit. Cordina would be moving up in weight, but his hand speed and local following make him an appealing stylistic dance partner for the 47-year-old icon. Both teams are aiming to finalize financial terms before the tour touches down in the United States.
