Anthony Cacace Defeats Josh Warrington at Wembley

Anthony Cacace successfully defended his IBF super-featherweight championship by defeating Josh Warrington via unanimous decision at Wembley Stadium, despite the title not being on the line due to Warrington's inactivity in the division. Judges scored the bout 118-110, 117-111, and 117-111 in favor of Cacace, who showcased his superior size and power throughout the match. The fight, although competitive, was marked by scrappy exchanges and a tactical approach from Cacace, who adapted his strategy as Warrington pressed forward with body shots. Cacace, now 23-1, is set to face mandatory challenger Eduardo Nunez in his next bout, while Warrington, suffering his third consecutive defeat, faces uncertainty about his future in boxing. The bout highlighted Cacace's resilience following his unexpected victory over Joe Cordina earlier this year, solidifying his status in the super-featherweight category. Warrington's performance, once promising, now raises questions about his trajectory in the sport, given his recent struggles.
