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 Cordinaโs 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 OโShaquie 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.
โWeโre talking to OโShaquie Fosterโs team,” he said.
“Heโs a hell of a fighter. We talk about great fights. Joe Cordina against OโShaquie Foster unification [is an] unbelievable fight. And if Joe wants to go straight into that Iโm up for it.
โWeโll see if OโShaquie Foster doesnโt out price himself. Heโll get what we believe that fight is worth. Thatโs 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.
