Shakur Stevenson to Defend Title Against Joe Cordina
News summary

The highly anticipated boxing event on October 12 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will feature several significant bouts, including Shakur Stevenson defending his WBC lightweight title against Joe Cordina. This event, headlined by the undisputed light-heavyweight title fight between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, will also see Raven Chapman face Skye Nicolson for the WBC featherweight title and a heavyweight rematch between Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke. Critics argue Stevenson's choice of Cordina, coming off a knockout loss and moving up a weight class, is a low-risk move that may not enhance his reputation. Other notable undercard fights include Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Kamil Szeremeta and Jai Opetaia defending his cruiserweight title against Jack Massey. Despite some backlash over matchups, the event aims to draw significant international attention to Saudi Arabia's growing influence in boxing.
