Anthony Cacace is set to defend his IBF super-featherweight title against two-time world champion Josh Warrington on the undercard of Anthony Joshua v Daniel Dubois on 21 September at Wembley Stadium.

Belfast boxer Cacace stunned Joe Cordina in May to claim his first world title in Saudi Arabia.

The 35-year-old stopped the previously undefeated Welshman in the eighth round on the undercard of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk's undisputed heavyweight showdown in Riyadh.

While Cacace is coming off the biggest win of his life, 33-year-old Warrington is looking to get his career back on track.

The Leeds fighter lost his IBF featherweight title to Luis Alberto Lopez in December 2022 before failing to take the WBA featherweight crown from Leigh Wood last October.
