Manny Pacquiao will not fight Joe Cordina on Fury-Joshua card
A final decision has been made regarding Manny Pacquiao's presence on the Tyson Fury versus Anthony Joshua card scheduled in Cardiff in just over a month. Joe Cordina had been waiting for an answer about a potential bout with the Filipino legend, who was last in action in July 2025 against Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title.
Queensberry-linked sources emphasize Tony Bellew's predictions about the hypothetical match, while independent sources focus on Cordina waiting for an answer.
