Anthony Cacace became a two-time world champion Saturday night, outpointing Jazza Dickens by unanimous decision in Dublin to claim the WBA super featherweight title on St. Patrick’s Day weekend.
Judges scored the competitive 12-round contest 116-112, 116-113, and 115-113 in Cacace’s favor. Dickens, the Liverpool southpaw, had periods of success and pressed the action throughout — but Cacace’s precision and output proved decisive on all three cards.
Cacace “On Cloud Nine” After Second World Title
Cacace described himself as “on cloud nine” following the victory, having now claimed world championships on two separate occasions. The result opens the door to several attractive matchups at 130 pounds, where the super featherweight division remains competitive across all four major sanctioning bodies.
The Belfast boxer’s performance in Dublin — in front of a partisan crowd on one of the city’s biggest weekends — represents the peak of a career built on consistent progress and a willingness to take difficult fights.
