Cordoba ‘in shape of his life’ for Dunne showdown

THIS may not be the best time for Bernard Dunne to challenge for Ricardo Cordoba’s WBA world super bantamweight title according to the champion’s promoter, Richard Dobal.

On Saturday night Dunne will climb into the ring in the unusual role of the underdog against the Panamanian, who not only holds the title, but has also beaten the man who unified all of the titles, Celistino Caballero.

And, according to Dobal, Cordoba is in the best shape of his life and that could be bad news for Dunne.
