What next for world champion Anthony Cacace after Jazza Dickens win?

Anthony Cacace is a world champion once again after beating Jazza Dickens to win the WBA's super featherweight world title belt. 

At the age of 37, there is not much time left in Cacace's career, so he needs to cash in and secure the big fights imminently. 

So, if 'The Apache' has no intentions of retiring anytime soon, who could he face next?

DAZN News names three potential opponents. 

A stadium fight against Ryan Garner

Ryan Garner is on the brink of a world title fight, and his promoter Frank Warren recently told DAZN News about plans for Garner to fight at Southampton's St. Mary's stadium in the summer. 

While Garner waits for his world title challenge to be finalised, he featured on the Dickens-Cacace undercard in a tickover fight against Cristian Bielma which he won by knockout in the third round. 

However, speaking after his win over Dickens, it appears Garner is not someone who features in Cacace's plans. 

"All respect to Ryan Garner, an up-and-comer, but I want bigger names and unifications," Cacace said. 

Cacace may have little interest in facing Garner, but it will be the easiest fight to make, and with both men action orientated operators, it would be a thrilling matchup. 

Unification clash with red-hot Mexican Emanuel Navarrete

The man on Cacace's mind in the immediate aftermath of his win over Dickens was unified champion Emanuel Navarrete. 

"Give me Navarrete - it's not that hard to make, so let's make it.

"The styles [against Dickens] never really gelled but I believe I can do better and unify.

"I can beat Navarrete and these guys, so that's what I'm aiming for now."

The Mexican produced a career best performance last month against Eduardo 'Sugar' Nunez to unify the IBF and WBO super featherweight titles, so a unification against Cacace makes sense. 

The Irishman will be the underdog against Navarrete, and many would tip Cacace to lose. 

A back against the wall scenario is a role which Cacace will thrive in, and after seeing him beat the likes of Joe Cordina, Leigh Wood and now Dickens in impressive fashion, it would be no surprise if he defies the odds once more and beats one of boxing's hottest fighters. 

Facing rising Japanese star Hayato Tsutsumi

A left field choice, but Japan's Hayato Tsutsumi will be eager to finally get his shot at Cacace's WBA super featherweight title. 

Tsutsumi was set to face then-champion Dickens at the end of last year, but he was forced to withdraw due to an injury in training camp. 

If Cacace took on Tsutsumi, it could see 'The Apache' make the trip to Japan due to the riches that come from a country which prides itself in talent amongst boxing's lower weight classes. 

Cacace may be stepping into enemy territory, but his vast experience could be the difference against an opponent who is only eight fights into his professional boxing career.
