In the upcoming match at Wembley Anthony Cacace will not face the risk of losing his IBF world super-featherweight title as his title will not be up for grabs.
Cacace earned his title back in May by defeating Joe Cordina during the eighth round which was Cacace’s first world title.
Warrington wanted to move himself to the next class by defeating Cacace. Cacace has held his IBO world title since 2022 but it’ll be up for grabs in London. As Warrington has been inactive in the super-featherweight class the committee deemed him to not be a challenger, consequently unranking him. As a result he will not be able to fight to claim the title that Cacace holds.
Even though Cacace doesn’t face any threat of giving up his belt, he will leave the belt if he loses against Warrington. On the other hand if Cacace wins he will have to defend his belt in an obligatory fight against Mexico’s Eduardo Nunez before 20th March of 2025.
Cacace has become insatiate since his first taste of world champion against Cordina as he stated – “I’m not satisfied with just being champion. I want to beat these top guys and continue doing what I’m doing.”
Cacace is hungry for more titles and he wants to fight the top contenders to claim the titles for himself. So it’s no wonder he is not happy as to why he is not fighting for both titles against Warrington and just the IBO world title that will be on the line in the future.
