The full report

Manny Pacquiao, 47, could be added to the Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua undercard, according to BBC Sport. Pacquiao, who has held world titles over eight weights, could face ex-IBF super-featherweight champion Joe Cordina. Fury and Joshua are set to meet in an all-British heavyweight battle at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on 11 December.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed that negotiations for a fight on the undercard are at an advanced stage. Hearn revealed that they have agreed terms to face Pacquiao, but they do not know if it will happen. Tickets for Fury-Joshua sold out in just one hour, and fight fans could now also see iconic eight-weight world champion Pacquiao face Wales' former super-featherweight world champion Cordina.

Pacquiao is regarded as one of the best boxers of all time, and it would be the first time the 12-time former champion has fought in the UK. Details of other fights on the eagerly anticipated clash are yet to be released. The fight will be broadcast globally by streaming giants Netflix.

The emergence of Cardiff-born Cordina, 34, as an opponent will also provide a hometown flavour to the show. A former IBF super-featherweight champion, Cordina had been scheduled to face American Abduallah Mason for the WBO lightweight title in Cleveland in July when he was denied a US visa.
