Joe Cordina vs Kenichi Ogawa: Date, UK start time, live stream, undercard for huge world title clash in Wales

JOE CORDINA is in world title action next as he takes on Kenichi Ogawa for the IBF super-featherweight belt THIS WEEKEND.

The Welsh Wizard is undefeated as a professional and was a successful amateur boxer too.


Cordina has yet to be tested during his career, which has involved Commonwealth and British title wins.

Ogawa burst onto the scene back in October, beating Azinga Fuzile for the IBF title at 130lbs on the undercard of Teofimo Lopez vs George Kambosos Jr.

The Japanese fighter dropped Fuzile three times en route to a unanimous decision victory in New York.

And his first defence is against Matchroom charge Cordina, who beat Miko Khatchatryan in his last outing.
