Cacace claims unanimous decision win over Warrington

IBF super-featherweight champion Anthony Cacace's dream 2024 continued as he claimed a unanimous decision win over Josh Warrington in an absorbing contest at Wembley Stadium.

On Monday, the IBF confirmed the Northern Irishman's world title would not be on the line because the sanctioning body did not recognise Warrington as a challenger due to his inactivity in the super-featherweight division.

Cacace's belt would have been vacated had he lost but the Belfast-born fighter overcame a shaky start to beat the English two-time world featherweight champion and ensure he left Wembley with his reign intact.

The 35-year-old Cacace can now look forward to putting his title on the line against mandatory challenger Eduardo Nunez, while doubts over Warrington's future will intensify after a third defeat in a row.
