Boxing Cacace stops Wood in the ninth round to retain his title
Bristol Post
|May 12, 2025
ANTHONY Cacace’s late career bloom continued with a third impressive victory in the last 12 months as he stopped Leigh Wood in the ninth round in Nottingham.
-
Despite cuts to his nose and right cheek, Cacace looked to be getting the better of the exchanges in the fight as he looked to follow up last year's stunning wins over Joe Cordina and Josh Warrington.
Belfast's Cacace, 36, closed the show impressively in his rival's home city to retain his lightly-regarded IBO super-featherweight title, having vacated his IBF belt in the run-up to this bout.
Wood, returning from a 19-month lay-off, was given a standing count after falling backwards into the ropes amid a heavy bombardment of punches from Cacace, culminating in a short one-two.
