Joe Cordina agrees terms to face Manny Pacquiao on Fury vs Joshua undercard in Cardiff
Eddie Hearn says Cordina's side has agreed to the fight, but he does not know if it will happen and Pacquiao's camp has not confirmed it.
Joe Cordina has agreed terms to face Manny Pacquiao on the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua undercard at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on 11 December, BoxingScene reported.
Eddie Hearn, Cordina's promoter, said: "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."
Pacquiao's side has not confirmed the fight, and no undercard bouts have been announced for the Netflix event. Hearn had put Cordina forward as one of four possible opponents for Pacquiao, along with Jack Catterall, Conah Walker and Lewis Crocker.
Cordina told iFL TV earlier this month that sharing the ring with Pacquiao would be "an honour". Pacquiao, 47, last fought in July 2025, when he boxed a majority draw with Mario Barrios.
