Ogawa vs Cordina – Start Times, Running Order, Undercard Fights, And Ring Walks

Ogawa vs Cordina – in what is a very winnable fight for the Welshmen, Cardiff’s Joe Cordina finally gets the world title shot that he has dreamed of since turning professional 5 years ago. A hand injury, the pandemic and moving down in weights all slowed down the progress of Cordina but now after 3 fights in 2021, it all finally comes together.

Japan’s Ogawa won the IBF title by beating South Africa’s Fuzile in the United States late last year on the Lopez Kambosos undercard at Madison Square Garden. Matchroom signed Ogawa afterwards and now uses their global platform to deliver for their olympian. The winner of this fight will surely be eyeing a unification fight with Shakur Stevenson or even a big domestic with Barrett should Cordina win.

Kenichi Ogawa vs Joe Cordina will take place this Saturday, June 4th at The Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff, Wales Live on Global Sports Streaming Platform DAZN. There are expected to be over 5,000 people at the prestigious Welsh venue, which also hosted Eubank vs Williams, watching over what could be the coronation moment for the best Welsh boxer of this era.
