Matchroom Boxing will get a shot at reclaiming the IBF tremendous featherweight title within the close to future, because the IBF has ordered newly topped champion Anthony Cacace to face obligatory challenger Eduardo Nunez. The pair have till June twenty second to return to phrases.
The duty to face Nunez (27-1, 27 KO) got here with the {hardware}, as “Sugar” overpowered former two-time title challenger Shavkat Rakhimov in a last eliminator this previous February. The bout doesn’t seem on his BoxRec web page by advantage of approaching an IBA present, nevertheless it was a sanctioned professional struggle and legit sufficient for the IBF, so I’m giving him credit score for the win and knockout.
Queensberry Promotions’ Cacace (22-1, 8 KO) simply straight-up mauled reigning titlist Joe Cordina final weekend, hurting him with a shot on the break within the third and pouring on the punishment to pressure a stoppage 5 rounds later. It’s in all probability in his finest curiosity to keep away from that type of struggle with the brick-fisted Nunez, however from an leisure perspective, I positive hope he doesn’t.
