Anthony Cacace Set for Exciting Bout Against Leigh Wood in May

Former super-featherweight world champion Anthony Cacace is preparing for an electrifying contest against Leigh Wood at the Nottingham Arena in England on May 10. This news comes just days after Cacace’s decision to relinquish his IBF title rather than face mandatory challenger Eduardo ‘Sugar’ Nunez.

Cacace, boasting a record of 23-1 (8 KOs), impressed boxing fans with his victory over Joe Cordina last May and successfully defended his title against Josh Warrington in September. Now, the 36-year-old Irish fighter will put his IBO belt on the line against Wood.

Leigh Wood, with a record of 28-3 (17 KOs), hasn’t stepped into the ring since his remarkable seventh-round stoppage of Warrington in 2023. Prior to that, Wood had demonstrated his resilience by avenging a loss to Mauricio Lara with a disciplined 12-round performance.

At 36, Wood aims to make a strong statement in the 130-pound weight class against Cacace. The fight will take place in Wood’s hometown of Nottingham, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event.

This highly anticipated matchup is part of a series of exciting bouts announced by Queensberry Promotions for their 2025 schedule on DAZN. Boxing enthusiasts can look forward to a thrilling night as these two experienced fighters clash in what promises to be a memorable contest.
