Anthony Cacace Dethrones Joe Cordina for IBF Super-Featherweight Title
Belfast Boxer Stuns World Champion in Upset Eighth-Round TKO
Belfast, Northern Ireland - May 18, 2024
Anthony Cacace, the 22-year-old rising star from Belfast, Northern Ireland, created a major upset when he defeated Joe Cordina to win the IBF super-featherweight title on the undercard of Tyson Fury's heavyweight title fight on Saturday.
Cacace, who entered the fight as an underdog, put on a dominant performance, overwhelming the defending champion with his relentless pressure and power punching. Cordina, who had previously reigned as IBF champion for a second time, was clearly stunned by Cacace's aggression and was unable to mount a significant response.
The end came in the eighth round when Cacace landed a series of unanswered punches that forced the referee to intervene and stop the fight.
