The IBO super-featherweight championship is on the line, however, it was confirmed that if Cacace loses to Warrington, then the Andersonstown native will lose both of his belts.

The IBO title would go to Warrington but the IBF belt would be vacant.

Cacace, who has reached the pinnacle of his boxing career at 35 years old, will have a tough fight on his hands but is confident that he can get past the challenge that Warrington presents.

Warrington, who has a career record of 30-3-1, will see this as an opportunity to break the dip that he currently finds himself in having lost the last two of his fights and his IBF featherweight title along with it.

The Leeds United fan has managed one win in five fights in three years and will have his eyes set on Cacace’s IBO title when he steps into Wembley.
