Joe Cordina 18-1, 9 Kos) worked on an insignificant 10-round unanimous decision on the second level warrior, Jaret Gonzalez Quiroz (17-2, 13 Kos), in a delicate competition on Saturday evening at Manchester Arena in Manchester in England. The former super feather champion IBF Cordina was wounded in the sixth round with his right hand from the little-known 24-year-old Quiros.

Kingdom is harassed by Cordina
34 -year -old Cordina escaped a lot rabbit blows, forearms, lacing, And hitting the back tonight. The referee had a free approach to the fight, choosing no police of constant contamination from Cordina. In the fifth and sixth round it was the Clinic of Fouls Joe. It surprised that the judge did not stop the action to deduct points. Cordina had a day in a field with Roughhouse tactics against a warrior where he did not have to operate them. He should have been able to view Quiros, considering that he is not a world warrior.
Rabbit balls should have caused warnings and at least one punishment because they were indefinite from him. His first movement was whipping and then quiros nails with a rabbit. It was tough to watch it.
Cordina did not operate such a fight. A year of inaction and his losing in the previous fight with Anthony Cacace in 2024 seemed desperately desperate to get an additional advantage. He already had two because of its huge size and advantage of experience. Quiros is not a pretender to the highest level.
Mason winner vs. Noakes
“We want to try to force him to fight the winner of Abdullah Mason vs. Nokes, so that he can become a world champion with two divisions. Now we want to fight this year,” said Eddie Hearn after the fight, responding to the fight, reacting to the fight Cordina’s win over Quiroszem. “You have to get there to have such a fight. He won every round. He looked like he sometimes liked it. He didn’t want an uncomplicated touch.”
I am Welsh. Bring every Mexican and I will stop them on their tracks – said Cordina.
Based on this performance, Cordin would have no chance against any of the top five delicate in the division. Hearna’s idea about matching Cordina to the winner of the November fight between Abdullah Mason and Sam Noakes for the title WBO 135-LB is bad. Cordina would not belong to the ring against the likely winner of this fight, Mason.
Even if he used rabbits and other abrasive tactics, which he used tonight against Quiros, he would not last for a long time against the Mason.
Cordina needs more tough fights
It would be ideal if Cordina won the title shot, and not give him on a silver plate after a victory over the hand -chosen quiros. Let Cordina defeat one of these warriors:
Herrera Core
Denys Berinchyk
Edwin de los Santos
It is unlikely that Cordina can defeat any of these guys with what he looked like tonight, but at least if he won, she deserves the fight for the title of world champion against the winner of Mason-Noese. Cordina should not simply have the title of the world, because he briefly had the title of IBF 130-lb. Sport should not work like that. Cordina did not keep the title of the world in the Super Feather Wweight for a long time, and the guy he defeated to win the belt, Kenichi Ogawa, was nothing special.
Tony Bellew is going against the grain for tonight’s Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley rematch.
The pair meet again just five months on from their thrilling first encounter, with Dubois now WBO champion having won the belt from Wardley via eleventh round stoppage.
After surviving two early knockdowns, the Londoner – who is now in his second stint as heavyweight titlist – took over the contest with a solid jab setting up thudding attacks that exhausted Wardley.
Though the Ipswich man stayed on his feet throughout, referee Howard Foster waved it off as the punishment because too much.
It is how the fight ended, and those last few rounds in which Dubois was largely dominating, that make him a strong favourite to retain his belt.
Giving his prediction to the BBCformer cruiserweight world champion Bellew backed Wardley to have success early again, but capitalise fully this time and end it.
“I’m going to be the difference. I am going to back Fabio Wardley by knockout within six rounds. Yep, I said [it]. I’m going for Fab within six.”
Dubois was on the canvas within ten seconds last time out, and took a knee in the third when hurt again.
Bellew has questioned Dubois’ resolve in the past, pointing to his stoppage loss to Joe Joyce as proof that there is a point he can be pushed to that he is not willing to go beyond. Many, however, will look to the first Wardley performance and disagree.
Both men recorded the highest weights of their careers on the scalessuggesting that neither will be changing the gameplan to a more measured affair, rather looking to engage in round 13 from the off tonight at London’s O2.
Top trainer Peter Fury has offered his expert analysis on the rematch between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley, believing it is still a 50/50 fight.
Others, meanwhile, will argue that Dubois should be made a considerable favourite, based on how he was able to dismantle Wardley in their first encounter.
In order to do so, the ‘Dynamite’ puncher was compelled to climb off the canvas in rounds one and three, having been put down by blows to the top of his head.
Proceedings then became a little one-sided as Dubois, utilising his fundamentals, managed to score an 11th-round finish with his thudding jab and superior footwork.
Wardley, however, wasted little time before activating the rematch clause in their contract and, in turn, securing the chance to reclaim his WBO title at London’s O2 Arena tomorrow evening.
Many will argue that such a swift turnaround could lead to his downfall while, due to his power and toughness, others would suggest that the 31-year-old is always dangerous, no matter the opponent standing across from him.
As such, coach Fury has told Boxing King Media that, while Dubois is rightfully brimming with confidence, it would be foolish to entirely dismiss Wardley’s attributes.
“I think it’s a great heavyweight fight – Dubois has got heavy hands and a good jab as well, so it’ll be interesting.
“You’ve got to say Wardley’s got it all to do, because the confidence of Dubois will be high. And if Dubois’ super confident, he’s a problem.
“But let’s see – Wardley was able to hurt Dubois early on. I still think that fight is a 50/50 fight.”
If he emerges victorious against Wardley, then Dubois will likely be targeting a unification match with Agit Kabayel or Filip Hrgovic in 2027.
Daniel Dubois will face Fabio Wardley in a rematch of a heavyweight slugfest from earlier this year, with Dubois defending the WBO heavyweight title he took from Wardley on that night.
