The 32-year-old Welshman is the undefeated IBF super-featherweight champion, and faces Anthony Cacace on May 18 on the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk undercard (live on DAZN.com).

"It's tough when a fight falls through… It was a nightmare," Cordina told the BBC regarding the delay following Fury’s cut.

"I am plodding along… Obviously, I am disappointed my fight in Saudi was called off due to Tyson Fury's injury.

"I am trying to keep busy and keep my mind occupied and stop myself from veering off and eating rubbish.

"It's a bit of a kick in the shins. Now I have to do a horrible camp again. I've already done a camp!

"This was a good one, the best sparring and now we have to reset and go again."

Cordina expressed his desire to find more high-profile fights in future.

"Anthony Cacace is a bit of a frustrating fight for me, even though I am getting paid very well," he added.

"Cacace is a good fight - but it's not the fight people probably wanted or expected.

"But I am grateful to be in a position where I'll be on a massive show, one of the biggest in history.

"I was chasing the other title holders but it hasn't happened yet.

"The thing is for me, if I can't get a unification fight in my next fight, I will look to go up a weight.

"I am not getting any younger and the big money fights are at the weight above me.

"Cacace is a great fighter but if I beat him and don't get a unification fight… I don't want to just keep defending my title."

O’Shaquie Foster is the WBC champion at the weight, but Cordina explained why a fight is difficult to tee up,

"O'Shaquie Foster keeps calling me out but the mad thing is, it was in his hands," he said.

"I talked to my promoter Eddie [Hearn] and he told me that when they did make an offer to him to fight me, he was asking for silly, silly money.

"The guy couldn't sell out his hometown. He's just fought in Madison Square Garden in the small bit.

"Even if I went over there, he can't fill anything. I mentioned him in America when I was over there and even Americans didn't know who he was.

"He's irrelevant but he's got a belt.

"It seems like it will be too hard work to deal with him... There are other champions out there."
