Eddie Hearn wants to make Joe Cordina v O’Shaquie Foster

Joe Cordina

JOE CORDINA could face American opposition in his next fight.

The Welsh super-featherweight was involved in a fight of the year contender against Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov on April 22.

A bruising and gruelling encounter ended with Cordinaโ€™s hand raised in front of a raucous Cardiff crowd. With a belt around his waist for his efforts the 31-year-old could have another if his promoter Eddie Hearn gets his way.

Recent social media activity has seen Cordina, and Oโ€™Shaquie Foster enjoy a Twitter spar creating speculation that the two may fight.

Speaking on the Matchroom YouTube channel Hearn said he is very interested in making it a reality.

โ€œWeโ€™re talking to Oโ€™Shaquie Fosterโ€™s team,” he said.

“Heโ€™s a hell of a fighter. We talk about great fights. Joe Cordina against Oโ€™Shaquie Foster unification [is an] unbelievable fight. And if Joe wants to go straight into that Iโ€™m up for it.

โ€œWeโ€™ll see if Oโ€™Shaquie Foster doesnโ€™t out price himself. Heโ€™ll get what we believe that fight is worth. Thatโ€™s a tough fight for both. Incredible fight for boxing. If those guys wanna unify straight off the bat, more than happy to make it happen.โ€

Foster won his own world super-featherweight strap in February beating Rey Vargas on points in San Antonio. The 29-year-old is currently a free agent.
