Jazza Dickens shows true colours after heartbreaking Anthony Cacace defeat
- At the 3Arena in Dublin, Anthony Cacace, 37, Belfast, Northern Ireland, became a two-time world champion with a unanimous decision over James 'Jazza' Dickens for the WBA title on Saturday.
- After Lamont Roach vacated the IBF belt in December, Dickens was promoted from interim champion, making this his first defence, which set the stage for Cacace's challenge.

- Speaking after the fight, Cacace said 'That shows that a poor night at the office and I can still win a world title.' Cacace's record improved to 25-1 and his winning streak extended to 10, while Dickens' record fell to 36-6 in his first loss since 2023.
- Cacace has now beaten reigning or former world champions in his last four fights, raising his profile and calling for a unification bout with Emanuel Navarrete.
