The Belfast man stopped the previously undefeated Welsh fighter to win the IBF super-featherweight world title on the Fury-Usyk undercard.
ANTHONY CACACE IS Ireland’s newest boxing world champion after producing a stunning performance to relieve Joe Cordina of his IBF super-featherweight title in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Advertisement Cacace, 35, has seen countless breakthrough opportunities in his career fall by the wayside due to injuries either to himself or to his opponents. Though the two-time world-champion Welshman also had his fair share of success in a high-octane, high-quality battle, Cacace landed twice as many shots as the beltholder before referee Bob Williams stepped in to protect Cordina from himself.
