Jazza Dickens sets first defence for WBA super-featherweight crown against domestic rival

Jazza Dickens will mount the first defence of his WBA super-featherweight crown against ex-IBF champion Anto Cacace in Dublin this March.

The former was due to defend his new strap against Hayato Tsutsumi at The Ring V: Night of the Samurai last month after he was elevated.

But injury scuppered the bout, and now leads the Liverpool fighter to a fascinating all-British affair across the Irish Sea at Dublin's 3Arena.

He will face Cacace, who previously defeated Joe Cordina for the IBF crown in 2024 before wins over Josh Warrington and Leigh Wood.

Elsewhere on the bill, home favourite Pierce O’Leary will enjoy a bout with Mark Chamberlain, as the pair meet in a super-lightweight clash.

Queensberry Promotions boss Frank Warren hailed the matchups at hand for what will be a fight card exclusively broadcast on DAZN worldwide.

Dublin has a rich boxing history, and there is no better time than St. Patrick’s Day weekend to bring world championship boxing back," he stated.

"Dickens- Cacace is a phenomenal match-up between two of the best in the division and Pierce O’Leary gets the big homecoming he deserves."
