Cacace-Warrington Fight Won't Include IBF Title

Anthony Cacace will fight Josh Warrington at Wembley Stadium on September 21, 2024, for the IBO World Super Featherweight Title, but the IBF title will not be on the line due to Warrington's unranked status after recent losses. The IBF confirmed that while Cacace can face Warrington, it is not a title defense, and if Cacace loses, the title will become vacant. Cacace, with a professional record of 22 wins and 1 loss, faces Warrington, who has not won since March 2022 and is stepping up in weight class. A victory for Cacace would require him to defend against mandatory challenger Eduardo Nunez by March 20, 2025. Both fighters have expressed disappointment regarding the IBF's ruling, although Cacace remains focused on the fight. Live coverage will begin at 07:00 PM UK time on DAZN and other platforms.
