James Tennyson (22-2 18 KOs) recently beat Martin J. Ward for the EBU Super featherweight title, taking his ‘0’ in the process courtesy of a fifth-round win, and Pat Magee believes that a fight with Belfast rival Anthony Cacace (16-1, 7 KOs), who was out-pointed by Ward last year and is managed by Magee, is a real possibility and could take place in the city of Belfast if a deal can be thrashed out.
