On Saturday night the Welsh Wizard, Joe Cordina, successfully defended his IBF Super-Featherweight World title for the first time!
Cordian retained his World title with a Majority Decision win over the exciting Mexican-American fighter Edward Vazquez.
Whilst remaining professional in the squared circle, Cordina continued to show his impressive and professional qualities outside of the ring by making a generous donation back to his local community.
Before his fight with Edward Vazquez, the two-time World champion donated his Wow Hydrate sponsorship to Llanrumney Pheonix Amateur Boxing Club (ABC), the boxing club where Cordina began his career and first stepped into a boxing ring.
The £2000 donation is evidence of Cordina’s commitment to supporting grassroots boxing and inspiring young boxers coming through the Llanrumney Pheonix ABC.
"I owe everything to my local boxing gym and the guidance I received there. WOW HYDRATE has supported me throughout my career with first class nutrition, this would have also helped me a lot when I was a young aspiring boxer. It feels incredibly gratifying to be able to support the future generation of boxers as they pursue their dreams." – Joe Cordina
Queenie Porter, Managing Director of WOW HYDRATE, explained that WOW HYDRATE have supported Cordina since the beginning of his career and are honoured to assist with his contribution to Llanrumney Pheonix ABC.
“We have worked with Joe since the very beginning of WOW HYDRATE and the early days of his career. We were incredibly proud to see Joe defend his World Title this weekend, and to pass forward our sponsorship to his very first boxing club is a fitting testament to our long relationship together.” - Queenie Porter
Donations like Cordina’s will allow the Llanrumney Pheonix ABC to provide young amateur boxers the same opportunities that laid the foundations for Cordina to go on and win British, Commonwealth and World titles!
After a Knockout of the Year and two Fight of the Year contenders back-to-back-to-back, everyone is excited to see the Welsh Wizard back in action…
TIME TO UNIFY!
