Warrington, a former world champion at featherweight, is coming into Saturday’s fight after two defeats and has not fought since October 2023.

The 33-year-old from Leeds famously beat Carl Frampton in December 2018 to retain his world featherweight title – something Cacace is looking to make amends for.

“He’s had fights with the likes of [Carl] Frampton, [Lee] Selby and all these big fighters in the past,” Cacace said.

“I would like to get my revenge for a couple of the Irish fighters and on Saturday night I plan on doing that.”

While Warrington, who is making his debut at 130lb, can not win the IBF super-featherweight title on Saturday, victory would see him become a relevant and active fighter in what is a bustling division.

“I think throughout my career the chips have always been stacked against me for whatever reason, but when my back is against the wall it seems to bring the best out in me,” Warrington said.

“We’ve been respectful throughout the build-up. I’ve got a lot of respect for Anto and his team have been very good.

“We’re going to prove that you don’t need to trash talk. It’s all about letting the fists do the talking and I think we’re both going to deliver on Saturday night.”
