The IBF is allowing the new 130lbs champion Anthony Cacace to meet Josh Warrington in a non-title fight on Saturday at Wembley Stadium

Jazza Dickens returned to action in Dubai on Friday night, forcing the brave but outgunned Filipino Eduardo Mancita to retire in his corner after seven rounds.

Although he probably won’t believe it is happening until he begins his ring walk on Sept. 21, Cacace will finally get the chance to fight at London's Wembley Stadium when he faces Josh Warrington.

Josh Warrington believes that a few extra pounds and a healthy amount of fear will help inject new life into his career when he faces IBF super featherweight champion Anthony Cacace at Wembley Stadium on September 21st.

Joe Cordina lost for the first time as a professional – and therefore the IBF super-featherweight title he won, reclaimed after being stripped, and then defended – when in May, on the undercard of Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk, he was unexpectedly stopped by Anthony Cacace.

Nothing is confirmed, but it is looking increasingly likely that Josh Warrington and his manager, Steve Wood, are about to be rewarded after months of campaigning. Wood and Warrington have been calling for a rematch with Leigh Wood ever since the Nottingham fighter came back from the brink to stop the two-time featherweight champion in the seventh round of their WBA featherweight title fight last October.

Josh Warrington has been kicking his heels, waiting to find out what his future holds, and it seems like the two-time IBF featherweight titleholder is on the verge of receiving the news he has been craving.

Former world featherweight champions and rivals Josh Warrington, 31-3-1 (8 KOs) and Leigh Wood, 28-3 (17 KOs), clashed at the AO Arena in Manchester on Saturday as Zelfa Barrett headlined with a 10th-round stoppage of Jordan Gill.

Over the years, Frank Warren has shown a knack for choosing the right fight at the right time. The Hall of Fame promoter’s instincts will be put to the test again this Friday night when Nick Ball challenges Rey Vargas for the WBC featherweight world title.
