Due to a back injury, Belfast’s Anthony Cacace was forced to withdraw from his fight with Raymond Ford, who was previously the world featherweight champion.
On the 16th of August, Moses Itauma and Dillian Whyte’s heavyweight fight in Saudia Arabia was scheduled to face Cacace, the 26-year-old New Jersey southpaw.
The 36-year-old, however, injured his back during training and forced him to withdraw from the 12-round super-weight contest.
We wish Anto well in his recovery and anticipate seeing him make another appearance in the ring later this year, according to Queensberry Promotions.
Cacace would now have had a chance to become one of the 130-pound division’s biggest forces after the fight.
Five months later, he defeated Josh Warrington in a non-title contest at Wembley to win the IBF title in a shock eighth-round stoppage victory over Joe Cordina before claiming the title with a shock eighth-round victory over Joe Cordina.
