Anthony Cacace ready to defend IBO title against his third two-time world champion in a row
- Anthony Cacace defeated Leigh Wood by TKO in Round 9 on May 10, 2025, at Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham, England.
- The fight marked Wood’s return after a 19-month hiatus caused by injuries and delays before making his debut in the junior lightweight division following his move up in weight.
- Cacace landed a quick right uppercut followed by a left hook that caused the referee to initiate a count, after which Wood's team decided to end the fight by throwing in the towel.
- Cacace, a 36-year-old Northern Irish fighter with a 24-1 record, defended his IBO super-featherweight title against Wood, an Englishman with a 28-4 record also aged 36.
- This win extended Cacace’s streak of defeating former or reigning world champions and suggests he may next fight in his Belfast hometown, according to promoter Frank Warren.
