In yesterday's final press conference, the defending champion revealed that his challenger will become the third two-time world champion he has faced in a row, while Wood says he isn't worried about titles, just victories only.

Anthony Cacace: “This is all new in Nottingham and it feels like I am in Belfast, to be honest. It is a great city. I am here, Leigh is my third two-time world champion in a row. If you looked at my life two years ago, I was nowhere, now I am fighting these calibre of fighters. I’ve nothing but respect for Leigh, but I am here to do a job in Nottingham and I will do that on Saturday night.

“I have been welcomed with open arms, there hasn’t been too much animosity or anything like that. It is just another fight for me. I could have done this fight in Belfast if I wanted and I am sure Leigh would have travelled, but I decided to come to Nottingham because I thought Leigh sells a lot of tickets and it would be something new for me.

“I’m just raring to go, it doesn’t matter where it is. It is Leigh Wood who is in front of me and I’ve watched him for years. When I wasn’t really doing much and not getting opportunities, I was watching him fight. He is the Cinderella Man of Nottingham and I would love to come here and do the business.”

Leigh Wood: “I am extremely excited for Saturday night. It has been way too long out of the ring, but not out of the gym. I’ve been staying disciplined and trying to get big fights for a while. I’ve had injuries but at the end of last year I was ready to go and was sat around. I saw the fight between Cacace and Warrington, he did a great job, now we are finally here.

“I’ve got a few belts already, so this is more about the win, the name and what Cacace has achieved. Taking that scalp is a lot more important to me.”

Betting Odds

39/20 Wood
18/1 Draw
4/7 Cacace

Predictions

Michael Conlan, World title contender: “Anto is getting in there with proper momentum, proper activity and the belief of a champion. I believe Anto wins convincingly, possibly by stoppage because Anto also punches hard. They both punch hard, yes, but I think Anto’s skillset is better. I think he’s the better boxer out of the both of them. Leigh’s been through the mill a lot of times now and there’s only so many times you can do that. I’m leaning heavily towards Anto in this fight.”

Josh Warrington, Two-time world featherweight champion: “It’ll be an interesting fight. I’m picking Cacace at this moment in time, Leigh has been out of the ring for a long time, obviously he’s moving up in weight, but Cacace has got some good form going for him at the minute. Leigh is tough and unless Cacace can go up a gear, I think Cacace will beat him on points.”
