Anthony Cacace: ‘I’m in that league’ – Belfast fighter eyes Vasiliy Lomachenko bout

Cacace celebrates his win over Warrington in the ring

Cacace and Warrington’s fight was one of the undercard contests for Saturday night’s main event which saw Daniel Dubois knock out fellow Briton Anthony Joshua to retain the IBF heavyweight title.

Cacace’s win came with Wembley still some way short of the 96,000-strong crowd that watched Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher’s three-song set and a scintillating headline fight.

But it is still the grandest stage Cacace has graced and he said it was “amazing” to deliver another big win for the Irish boxing community.

“I’m a proud Andersonstown man and I’m very proud of my estate and the people around it, but not only that – the whole of Belfast; north, south, east, west and the whole of Ireland.

“I’m just super proud to be Irish and to be doing them all proud.”

Cacace, who paid tribute to the support of his team and family after another big win, added that he is living a dream having come from relative obscurity to the heights of a Wembley win in the space of 18 months.

“If you were to ask me this a year-and-a-half-ago, I’d have dismissed it as silly talk.

“Now it’s real talk and we’re all in the big time and we want to continue marching forward.”
