Anthony Cacace stops Leigh Wood in ninth round as sensational display extends winning run: 'My time is now'
Anthony Cacace continued his superb run of form with a ninth-round stoppage of Leigh Wood in Nottingham.
The Northern Irishman, 36, is enjoying the best spell of his career, having beaten Joe Cordina and Josh Warrington in 2024, and he picked up another victory over a domestic rival here with a dominant display.
But, a round later, it was all over. Wood was given a standing count after he was sent staggering back into the ropes by a flush left hook, and Cacace did not let up. Two huge right uppercuts were followed by a left to the body, leaving Wood almost defenceless.
