Joe Cordina clashes with Sean 'Masher' Dodd for Commonwealth crown in Cardiff

Joe Cordina will tackle Sean 'Masher' Dodd for the vacant Commonwealth Lightweight title at the Ice Arena Cardiff on August 4, live on Sky Sports.

Cordina fights for his second pro title on home turf having landed the WBA International strap at Principality Stadium in March with a third-round stoppage win over Hakim Ben Ali.

"I can't wait to be fighting at home once again," said Cordina. "This is the perfect fight for me to explode on the domestic scene and there's added incentive to add another title to my collection. Masher has been there and done it but I think I'll be too fresh for him.

"While it was great boxing on the two AJ shows in Cardiff, all eyes will be on me now topping the show which gives me that extra spring in my step.

"I've seen a few of my Team GB mates win the Commonwealth title in recent weeks and now it's my turn, I won't let this opportunity slip in front of my own fans."

Dodd gets the chance to regain the Commonwealth crown at the first attempt having fallen to Tommy Coyle in Liverpool in April.

"This is a great opportunity for me to reclaim the Commonwealth Title," said Dodd. "It didn't go my way last time around, but that's boxing. I'm back in another meaningful fight and am determined to win that belt back away from home.

"I'll bring an army down to Cardiff, so Joe's home advantage will be cancelled out. He's an exciting young talent but I'll be looking to use all my experience on the night - I honestly can't wait to get back to business."
