Leeds boxer Josh Warrington is set to face Anthony Cacace at Wembley Stadium.
‘The Leeds Warrior’ will return to action on September 21, fighting on the undercard of Anthony Joshua’s high-profile battle with Daniel Dubois. It will mark a first return to the ring for Warrington since his defeat to Leigh Wood in October. Belfast-born Cacace will be putting his IBF super-featherweight title on the line, looking to gather more momentum after stunning Joe Cordina in Saudi Arabia last month.
'There were a couple of opponents given to me but I thought Josh was the best fight. He's very well known in Ireland and the UK. He's very experienced, he's been around the block. He's a great fighter.'
