Anthony Cacace v Jazza Dickens

Anto Cacace is starving. And not just for the Nando’s he’s been waiting all day for. The former IBF world super-featherweight hit The Rocky Road to Dublin to publicise his March 14 clash with Liverpool’s James ‘Jazza’ Dickens at the 3Arena, with Dickens putting his WBA world title on the line in what’s sure to be a mouthwatering clash. ‘The Apache’ tells us why he’s hungrier than ever to keep making history, why he’s skint again after spending all his winnings to date on bricks and mortar, bringing the boys down the M1 for a fight night and why he’ll be dedicating his performance to his late friend, Paul McCullagh Jr. We also sit down with Dickens, who knows hunger all too well. He’s ready to defend his championship belt at the old Point Depot and he tells us about how he used to actually park up his van outside the place back in the day and sleep there on a mattress in the back. Jazza, who’s half-Dub at this stage from his time in the capital under Pete Taylor, is cut from the same cloth as Cacace - a veteran who’s paid his dues, and these two are ready to put it all on the line. Plus we’re joined by brand new heavyweight Adam Olaniyan, who’s making his pro debut on the card. The Tallaght, Dublin boxer stands at 6ft 6in, has won everything at underage level in the amateurs and has pro sparring experience with the likes of Joseph Parker. We hear about his lofty goals in the sport but this is a young man with his feet planted firmly on the ground.
