Joe Cordina vs Edward Vazquez LIVE: UK start time, undercard and how to follow as Welshman defends super-featherweight title
Joe Cordina will defend his world super-featherweight title for the first time against Edward Vazquez in Monte Carlo on Saturday night.
The Welshman reclaimed the belt by beating Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov by split decision in April after he was stripped of it last year.
Cordina lost the belt after suffering from a hand injury which forced his original title defence against Rakhimov to be called off.
However, he is now the titleholder again and will be defending his crown as well as his unbeaten record against Vazquez who beat Brayan De Gracia in July.
