โœ๏ธ ๐‘๐ˆ๐๐†๐’๐ˆ๐ƒ๐„ ๐‘๐„๐๐Ž๐‘๐“: Cardiffโ€™s Joe Cordina (18-1, 9 KOs) kickstarted his new chapter with a well-earned decision victory over Mexicoโ€™s Jaret Gonzalez Quiroz (17-2, 13 KOs) on Saturday.

โ€œThey go on about Mexicans coming over and shocking everyone. Theyโ€™re tough, theyโ€™re this, theyโ€™re that. Iโ€™m Welsh and Iโ€™m Maltese. Thatโ€™s a dangerous mix,โ€ he said with a smile at the AO Arena in Manchester.

Cordinaโ€™s triumph saw him collect the WBO Global title, which should grant him a top-15 ranking. The new campaign to create history and become a two-weight world champion is underway.

A solid performance from Joe Cordina last night in Manchester. Always a step ahead, he earned 100-90, 99-91, and 98-92 scorecards against a typically tough Mexican in Jaret Gonzalez.

After 14 months out of the ring, a clear but competitive win was a good way to get back in the swing of things. 10 rounds of action under his belt and some time together with new coach Gary Lockett - both boxes worth ticking.

Would Cordina benefit from another fight before world honours? Probably yes. His timing and experience is a challenge for anyone at lightweight, especially now heโ€™s active again and equipped with a plan from promoter Eddie Hearn.

Keep an eye on the sportinwales website for my ringside report.

Iโ€™m Manchester-bound for the comeback of the . 10 rounds or less against unknown Mexican puncher, Jaret Gonzalez.

Letโ€™s not forget, Joe Cordina has given Welsh boxing unbelievable memories in recent years. Knockout of the year, fight of the year.

He may have been ignored over the past year but , heโ€™s still here. A new mission at lightweight, a new team to get there.

There was a double headed in Lanarkshire, Scotland on Friday, but both contests ended in defeat for Welsh boxers.

Riscaโ€™s Jake Tinklin (12-5) was stopped for the first time in his Celtic welterweight title fight. Despite a brave effort to repel Scotlandโ€™s skilful Tyler Jolly (6-0, 4KO), Tinklin was retired by his corner in the ninth round after suffering an injured eye.

Earlier in the evening, Swanseaโ€™s super-bantamweight Ashleigh Johnson (3-3) pushed the unbeaten Cassidy Todd (5-0) all the way in a tight 10 rounder. They were separated by a 94-96 scorecard went against the Welshwoman, who once again provided plenty of action.

Cardiffโ€™s game Rashid Omar (8-3, 1KO) was on the wrong end of a competitive defeat in Bristol.

The sharper skills of local super-lightweight Anton Haskins (13-0, 2KO) helped him to secure a 78-74 decision over eight rounds.

Omar, who never ducks a challenge, deserves a lot of credit for facing the fifth undefeated opponent of his 11-fight career.

The Ioan Croft (4-0, 3KO) train is full steam ahead after another dominating performance.

Mexicoโ€™s Fernando Valencia (9-69, 5KO) was stopped in the third round after a ruthless barrage of southpaw lefts left him defenceless.

Croft, who enjoyed a distinguished amateur career, has made a smooth transition to the professional code and could be the best unsigned talent in the UK.

Port Talbotโ€™s Joshua John (12-2) is one fight closer to a dream title shot after winning his British title eliminator.

Now settled at bantamweight, he outboxed the previously unbeaten Logan Richardson (6-1, 2KO) at the Galleries in Bristol.

98-92, 98-92 and 97-93 scorecards granted John a well-deserved unanimous decision on Saturday.

John can once again look to challenge reigning champion Andrew Cain after their initial fight was cancelled in 2024.
