Joe Cordina eager for Shakur Stevenson unification bout after stunning world title win

Joe Cordina is pushing hard to make a super featherweight title unification bout against fellow unbeaten fighter Shakur Stevenson.

The Welsh star turned heads with an outrageous second round knockout of Kenichi Ogawa to claim the IBF belt, while Stevenson recently unified the WBC and WBO straps back in April. And assuming the American can get past Robson Conceicao in September, Cordina is keen to make a super-fight between the pair.

Stevenson, only 25-years-old, has indicated that he would be willing to travel to the UK to face Cordina, who packed the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff last month for his world title shot. And the pair could make a massive bout happen, once the New Jersey native has won his own homecoming.
