The Belfast man produced the performance of his career to stop Welshman Cordina
Anthony Cacace stunned Joe Cordina in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night to be crowned the new IBF World super-featherweight champion.
But Cacace had Cordina in all sorts of trouble from the third round, when an onslaught began with what was deemed an illegal shot by those commentating on the fight. However, the 35-year-old did not agree with that assessment after the bout. Cacace followed the controversial shot up with a lovely uppercut and a powerful right that sent the defending champion to the floor. Cordina got back up and hardly threw a punch for the rest of the round, but did make it to the bell and came out firing in the fourth to his credit.
