We have a fight.

Belfast super featherweight Anto Cacace [15(7)-0] successfully weighed in today ahead of his double title fight in London tomorrow night.

‘The Apache’ takes on British champion Martin J Ward, with the vacant Commonwealth title also on the line, at the Wembley Arena tomorrow as part of the Chris Eubank v Arthur Abraham undercard, live on ITV pay-per-view.

Both boxers hit the scales this afternoon, with both coming in inside the 130lbs super featherweight limit.

Cacace, who will be having his first fight under trainer and former Emerald stablemate Ray Ginley, weighed in at a trim 129.7lbs (9stone 3pounds 13ounces)

Reigning champion Ward [17(8)-0-2] tipped the scales slightly lighter at 129.5lbs (9stone 3pounds 8ounces).

The pair then went head-to-head. It was a relatively heated face-off yesterday and it would be similar today, with the two trading words throughout the staredown.
