The Leeds Warrior, who has twice reigned as IBF featherweight champ, is stepping up a division to take on the Belfast man this weekend at Wembley
Josh Warrington could miss out on a chance to become a two-weight world champion despite landing a shot at IBF super-featherweight title holder Anto Cacace.
The card – which is headlined by Daniel Dubois defending the IBF heavyweight title against Anthony Joshua – is being backed by Saudi-funded Riyadh Season. Those involved are still petitioning the IBF to sanction the bout as a first defence for Belfast ace Cacace, who beat Joe Cordina to claim the title in May. They remain confident the bout – which is also for the lesser-regarded IBO belt – will get IBF approval this week.
But the Leeds man lost it in his first defence when he was narrowly outpointed by Luis Alberto Lopez later in the same year.
