Anthony Cacace admits that being world champion "adds a little more pressure" but he is confident of defeating Josh Warrington."They will now expect for me to fight like that every time," Cacace told BBC Sport NI.His defeat by Luis Alberto Lopez saw him lose his IBF world featherweight belt and Leigh Wood successfully defended his WBA title against Warrington in October.
"He's done things in the game that many could only dream of. We'll have to leave it down to the night and see what happens."Cacace added that having the first defence of his title at Wembley is a "dream come true" and "unbelievable". "I've had my fair share of bad luck, so now I'm just really enjoying the bit of good luck that I've had."
Josh Warrington is bidding to become a three-time, two-weight world champion despite October's defeat by Leigh Wood "His performance against Cordina was absolutely phenomenal. He has my full respect and we will throw the kitchen sink at each other." "He has had a few disappointments over the years but if you are patient and keep at it like he has done, you can show what you are capable of.
