Manny Pacquiao, the legendary boxing icon, could make a thrilling addition to the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua undercard, as former world champion Joe Cordina has agreed to terms to face him. The highly anticipated heavyweight clash is set for 11 December at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.

Promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed that negotiations for this potential matchup are progressing, stating, "We've agreed terms to face Pacquiao, but we don't know if it's happening. From our side, we've agreed to do it."

The excitement surrounding the Fury-Joshua fight is palpable, with tickets selling out in just one hour. If confirmed, this bout would mark Pacquiao's first fight in the UK and his first against a British opponent since defeating Ricky Hatton in 2009.

Key Details:

• Pacquiao has not fought since July 2025, returning from a previous retirement.
• He holds an impressive record of 62 wins from 73 fights.
• The fight is expected to attract a massive global television audience, streamed by Netflix.

Joe Cordina, a Cardiff native and former IBF super-featherweight champion, is eager to seize this opportunity in his hometown. Having recently cleared himself of assault charges, Cordina aims to revitalize his career after a previous setback where he lost his IBF title to Anthony Cacace on the undercard of Fury's bout against Oleksandr Usyk.

As fans await confirmation, the potential matchup between Cordina and Pacquiao adds another layer of intrigue to an already monumental event.
