Jamie Conlan to face Tader Cardoza

Undefeated warrior Jamie Conlan will face former World title challenger Tader Cardoza for the Vacant WBC International Silver Super-Flyweight Championship at the Belfast Waterfront on Saturday 18th February, live and exclusive on BoxNation.

Boasting a flawless record of 18 wins, 11 via knockout, 2017 promises to be a huge year for all-action Conlan and the Belfast man is determined to add another belt to his growing collection in front of his home crowd before targeting a World title shot later in the year.

‘The Mexican’ knows he will have to come in at his best against Nicaraguan Cardoza, who challenged Adrian Hernandez for the WBC World Light-Flyweight title back in 2013. Cardoza boasts an impressive record of 21 wins from 32 career fights, six coming via knockout, and is determined to spoil the party on February 18.

“Expect fireworks”, declared Conlan. “This is a great opportunity to get my hands on another belt and I’m not going to waste it. Cardoza has fought at World level but that belt has my name on it and I’m going to send my fans home happy.

“I need to get in there and get the job done. My team has really pushed me forward and we’ve been making some great progress over the past few months. There’s some huge fights out there for me and I’m going to kick the year off with a new belt around my waist.”
