Anthony Joshua v Daniel Dubois: Anthony Cacace ready for Josh Warrington in ‘fight of my life’
Cacace also feels as though he will be representing the entire Irish boxing community when he steps out in front of a 96,000-strong crowd at one of the world’s most iconic stadiums.
“Andersonstown, west Belfast, the whole of Belfast, wherever you’re from – south, east – I know they’re behind me, I’m getting the messages from everyone,” he said.
“I’m representing the whole of Belfast, Northern Ireland, Ireland. Whoever wants to support me, I’m all over it.”
Beating Warrington would set up a bout against mandatory IBF challenger Eduardo ‘Sugar’ Nunez before 20 March 2025.
But knowing that a defeat at this stage of his career would be difficult to come back from, Cacace is not looking past Warrington, who memorably beat Belfast’s Carl Frampton in a world title fight in 2018.
“They say Nunez is next. To me, Josh is next.
“If I don’t beat Josh, I’m back down that pecking order again and at my age there’s no time for that.”
