Former IBF super-featherweight champion Joe Cordina will return to the ring on 5 July to fight Mexico’s Jaret Gonzalez at lightweight.

Cordina, 33, lost his title to Anthony Cacace in a surprise defeat in Saudi Arabia 13 months ago.

The Welsh boxer had been due to make his comeback against Shakur Stevenson in October, but the WBC lightweight champion pulled out with a hand injury.

Cordina’s return to lightweight – where he won British and Commonwealth titles earlier in his career – will come on the undercard of Jack Catterall v Harlem Eubank at Manchester’s AO Arena.

Responding to the announcement on social media Cordina simply posted: “Baby I’m back.”

Gonzalez, 24, is 17-1 in a career that includes 13 KOs, similar to the Welshman’s 17-1 (9 KOs), though not at the same level as Cordina who has moved back to south Wales and will train for the fight with Gary Lockett.
