Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk undercard in FULL: Joe Cordina faces Anthony Cacace and Moses Itauma returns

The long-awaited and undisputed title clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is expected to be preceded by many big fights on a huge night of boxing in Saudi Arabia.

The undefeated champions are finally set to face each other next month, and there’s a stacked undercard.

In the biggest fight on the undercard, Joe Cordina takes on Anthony Cacace for the IBF and IBO super featherweight titles.

The Welshman (17-0-0) is still undefeated professionally and has blown away all his opponents.

But the Irishman has won his last six fights in a row and will feel he can pull off an upset and end Cordina’s run.

It should be a great battle between the two main contenders on May 18 in Saudi Arabia.

However, this isn’t the only title fight on the undercard.

The vacant IBF cruiserweight belt is up for grabs, and Jai Opetaia and Mairis Briedis are the men competing to get it.

Opetaia is a 28-year-old Australian who has a record of 24-0-0, including 19 knockouts.

Meanwhile, Briedis is 11 years older than his opponent and comes from Latvia.

He’s been a three-time cruiserweight champion and is looking to make it a fourth here.

Elsewhere, young British sensation Moses Itauma is back in action.

The 19-year-old drew early comparisons to Mike Tyson due to his brutal style, with Fury even describing him as “the future of the division.”

He last fought in March against Dan Garber, and the young heavyweight demolished his opponent, securing victory in the first round.

His record is currently 8-0-0, and he will look to extend his record against Ilja Mezencev in front of his promoter, Frank Warren.

There will also be a few other British fighters to watch, Mark Chamberlain and Isaac Lowe.

Chamberlain is represented by Queensbury and will face Joshua Oluwaseun Wahab.

Chamberlain holds a 15-0-0 record as a professional and has carved his path.

His last fight saw him compete on the Anthony Joshua undercard against Francis Ngannou, and he knocked out Gavin Gwynne in the fourth round.

Meanwhile, Wahab hails from Lagos Nigeria and holds a 23-1-0 record, although at 33 he is much older than Chamberlain.

Lowe is a bit more of a journeyman, having lost twice in his career and collecting a few draws as well.

However, he hails from Morecambe, the home of Fury, and will look to make it a double win for the town.

Hasibullah Ahmadi (16-1-0) stands in his way.

Elsewhere, Sergey Kovalev faces Robin Sirwan Safar.

Kovalev is 41 now but is a former multiple light heavyweight world champion.

“Krusher” has had several of his recent fights canceled, so he will be looking to put on a show.

But Safar holds a 16-0-0 record, and the Swede will want to continue that momentum here and move toward a world title fight.

Additionally, on the undercard we have David Nyika taking on Michael Seitz, and Agit Kabayel taking on Frank Sanchez.
