In a Twitter thread, Joe Cordina and Shakur Stevenson discussed a potential matchup between them. It started with Stevenson congratulating him on his win over Kenichi Ogawa and suggesting he go to England for a fight with Cordina. Cordina responded:
"Respect bro. Enjoy my break and we'll talk soon for sure."
Stevenson replied:
"Yesssir best fight at 130 is us champ."
