Anthony Cacace ends the return of Leigh Wood with the nine Rune TKO
Published
22 hours agoon

Anthony Cacace continued his handsome form with winning in the 9th round of Leigh Wood, who survived the painful end of returning after a 19-month absence.
Cacace (24-1, 9 Kos), 36, sealed the victory after they forced the count in round 9, and then followed the cruel attack, which prompted the corner of Wood to throw the towel and stop the clash of two former world champions in Motorpoint Arena Nottingham in England.
During the third subsequent fight, Cacace defeated either the prevailing world champion or former world champion after transforming his delayed flourishing career over the past year. Cacace emerged from relative vagueness to win the title of IBF champion a year ago, and then made one defense against giving up the belt in January. It was another brilliant performance of the North Irishman.
With its growth and reach, in this form, Cacace is a hazardous pretender for each of the world juniors of delicate masters.
“I took this fight only for money, and the money was twice as much [IBF mandatory challenger Eduardo] Nunez, that’s why I was here in Nottingham tonight.
“Show me the money, I will travel everywhere, I’m 36 years ancient. I will fight it [vs. WBC world champion O’Shaquie Foster] next week.”
Frank Warren, a promotion promotion of Queensberry, says that Cacace will fight in his hometown of Belfast in Northern Ireland.
But in the case of Wood (28-4, 17 KO), defeating his junior delicate debut after a long release can make him consider retirement when he approaches his 37th birthday in August.
“I don’t want to pronounce, it was more hard than usual,” said Wood.
“I feel that I am much stronger in a featherweight, where it was a even pitch tonight. There was no shame when she lost to him.
“I’m not going to make decisions on the spot [about retirement]. “
Wood was unable to create his heroic past.
Wood knocked out Can XU in the last round of the WBA World title in July 2021, and then did the same to Michael Conlan at Fight of the Year in 2022. Then, in his last fight, Wood comes from a losing position to stop the former champion Josh Warrington in round 7 in October 2023.
Wood collects dust since winning over Warrington due to injury and long -term waiting for his younger delicate debut.
While Wood was gone, Cacace’s career started with a delay. Cacace gave up the IBF world, which he won against Joe Cordin in May 2024 to fight Wood. In September, he unanimously spoke Warrington, and the last activity meant that he looked much sharper than Wood.
They both began to box from an orthodox attitude and focused on establishing their stabs, but in the 2nd round Kocia was more risky when he landed excessively on his forehead.
Cacace, who had three inches and four -inch advantages of reach, broke the guard Wooder with the right upper top in round 3, and then a moment later a left hook landed.
The two -time World Feather champion Wood, who was roared by his fans of his hometown in Nottingham, answered with his left hook at the end of the 3rd round, but in general he tried to get close enough to land on the early rounds.
Wood produced his best in round 4 with a more busy stab and closed the upper round. But Cacace resumed control, and in the 6th round a man from Belfast punished wood with a long stab and upper left mining from close range.
Cacace changed his attitude and slid around the ring when he fired stabbing stabs and put points.
The Northern Irishman sealed the victory when he started attacking in round 9 and it was too much for Wood, which he received when he was sent back on the ropes after nailing the miniature upper right and left hook.
He followed the piercing of blows after Cacace. After a series of hooks and the upper Kakas, he unloaded the left to the solar plexus, which wounded the wood and sent it back. When Cacace was chasing the wood around the ring to land on Ko, the English corner threw a towel to stop the fight.

Navarrete claims that Headbutt has caused a fight to be cut, he remains undecided to the rematch

Emanuel Navarrete, a super feather master in WBO, insisted after the last Saturday night to fight Charly Suarez, that his reduction of the fight was caused by “Headbutt” on the sixth and that he still had to do so “determine” or give him a rematch. The highest class vice president, Carl Moretti, said delayed last night that “the rematch is coming” after the replays showed the blow of Suarezu caused a cut. Navarrete (40-2-1, 32 KO) may have other ideas because it does not undertake to revenge. He says he must “Make a decision.“
The cut caused the final downtime of the fight at the beginning of the eighth round. Dr. Ringside announced that the fight was stopped after examining the cut on the left eye of Navarrete. It did not look like a bad cut compared to the fact that Tyson Fury suffered during the fight with Otto Wallin in September 2019. The Fury was seriously cut over the right eye in the third, but the ring doctor did not advise her to stop her.
Avoiding a rematch?
Fans have a real problem with the struggle. The judges gave him Navarrete, even though he seemed to lose five out of seven rounds. It was won by 78-75, 77-76 and 77-76. The judges who give the seventh round of Navarrete, which was certainly the best round of the fight for Suarez, also enraged. In this round he had Emanuel in grave problems.
Navarrete seems to be winning and looking for another fight, and not let Suarez get a second chance. Suarez is too well conditioned and fights too swift for a flabby and faded Navarrete to defeat him in a rematch without another strange situation. The best rank was published by the clip of one of Navarrete’s previous fights with Isaac Dogboe from 2018.
He looked like a completely different warrior. Navarrete was vulgar, faster and more agile. The aging look that fans saw last night did not struggle with this. She is very vintage for a 30-year-old, if someone closer to 40. What lifestyle lived on Navarrete outside the ring? His fights could not do this to him, because during his career he did not fight any of the fighters at the elite level.
Most of his matches were against washed warriors or men at the level. He never fought with talents such as Rafael Espinosis, Lamont Roach, Gervont Davis, Eduardo “Sugar” Nunez or O’Shaquie Foster. Navarrete has been protected.
Words of a reluctant master
“It’s a bit premature. I have a suspension for two months [due to the cut]. I have to think well, decide, see what will come, and then we will make a decision – said Emanuel Navarrete to media Asked if he would make Charly Suarez a rematch after a controversial cut on Saturday.
“Unfortunately, it ended yes because of a headbuttBut I felt good. In the results of the fight it was arduous because of the headbutt. I hurt him in my head and to the body. Maybe it gave me an advantage. I didn’t think I would lose. “

Muratalla target list: Lomachenko first, Keyshawn never? Their strategy emphasizes the lack of trust

Raymond Muratalla (23-0, 17 Kos) explained that he wants IBF Lightweight Vasily Lomachenko champion after winning the momentary version of this title last Saturday evening, defeating Zara Abdullaeva (20-2, 12 Kos) by a 12-round unanimous decision at the Sanchanga Arena in San Diego in California.
Muratalla looked like he was shot by a paralyzing Dart pistol after a fight, when he asked if he would like to challenge the delicate master WBO Keyshawn Davis. At that moment he looked like variable eyes as if he wanted to escape from the intelligence session, but he was imprisoned. In this appearance, it can be said that Muratalla does not want to fight Keyshawn.
Keyshawn Last?
It seemed that Raymond was got stuck in one gear All night, unable to switch to higher equipment to get a knockout he needed to make a statement. Muratalla won the results of 119-109, 119-109 and 118-110. However, the fight looked much closer than those very sloping results. I had it 115-113 for Muratalla. Yes, he won, but it was close and did not look like the world champion. There was more Guard.
Asked if he would be open to a challenging warrior from the highest ranked, Keyshawn Davis for his delicate title WBO, a friend from the Muratalli team said: “You are still hugging Keyshawn. Shakur is Shakur. It’s Shakur. It’s Shakur. [Gervonta] Davis, he is [Keyshawn] The weakest of all fighters. We chose Davis, Shakur, and then Keyshawn. “
So, if this plan succeeds, the next three muratalla fights will be these:
- Shakur Stevenson
- Gervonta Davis
- Keyshawn Davis
None of the first two fights on the charts of Muratalla’s team can happen in this life. He says that Muratalla saves Keyshawn at the end, because before she goes to other fights that will not be contradictory to other fights that will not contradict other fights. Muratalla will fight other warriors in his two competitions, not Shakur or Tank. He will probably fight someone like Abdullaev in terms of talent. Keyshawn will disappear a long time before Muratalla finally fights with him, which works well for him.
Goal: Loma
“I got a Lomachenko. Then this is the main goal. Whoever does not matter then,” said Raymond Muratalla to media Asked who he wants to fight next. Asked if he would like to fight the WBO Lightweight champion, Keyshawn Davis, it was impossible.
“That would suck, but what can I do?” Muratallla said, responding to the saying that Lomachenko could retire. “Every time they configure him, I will be ready.”

No heavyweight has ever organized the world championship five times. However, one legend tried to demand her in the past.
Judging by his last offer, Evander Holyfield is no longer five -time weighty world champion Moniker.
Between 2010 and his pension in 2011, Holyfield was the owner of the title in the Booker T.
Holyfield won the four most significant division crown in 1990–1999. The highest triumphs of the division took place after a very successful run in the circuitous weight.
One of the boxing legends, “The Real Deal”, became undisputed in both categories.
But because he continued his career much longer than he should have at the end of 2000, Holyfield was obsessed with the recovery of any titles, that he swore that he would never retire until he became a five -time heavyweight champion.
In 2010, at the age of 47, Holyfield defeated Frans Both to become a modest owner of titles. This was by no means another level of his previous achievements. However, another Holyfield media sent to World Boxing News promoting his subsequent fights against Sherman Williams and Brian Nielsen found the opposite.
His team staged Holyfield as a five -time master, despite the fact that the rest of the sport did not see it at that time.
WBN changed several press messages from PR Holyfield for its later action.
Fortunately, the boxing legend does not see her in this way after his latest post put it all to bed. Perhaps he was not a man insisting on the claim.
“Hi a follower, just reminding why this” ring says everything. I am the only boxer who was a four-time heavyweight champion around the world, “said Holyfield.
“That is why I am called” a real offer ” – this is my nickname.”
Talking earlier with World Boxing News, Holyfield outlined, which is what means the most.
“My goal was to be like Muhammad Ali. I achieved things that were told to me when I was adolescent.
Holyfield added which achievements stand out the most: “I would say that creating the Olympic team,”84 Olympic team in Los Angeles. “
“I was one of the twelve members. We had nine gold medalists, one silver and one bronze. I was a bronze medalist.
“This achievement is so high with me, because the fact is that it is an amateur, not money.
“You just want to represent your country, so the fact that I could do which he gave me a up-to-date start as a professional.
“My approach has a lot to do with my mother’s ups and downs. My mother wanted me to be better than her, so every time I was talking about my career, I always said that my mother was the one who led me.
“She said that my approach would take me much further than my talent. This is because everyone will break, but when you have a bad attitude, you don’t have so many chances to come back.
“So if you look at my career, you’ll see that I had many shortcomings – but because I had a good attitude, I had the opportunity to succeed.”
