Both Jazza Dickens and Anthony “The Apache” Cacace belong to a different time in the boxing business, a time when boxers without infamy and entourages won and lost title fights as part of their day job.
On Saturday night in Dublin, in front of boxing’s loudest crowd, Cacace beat Dickens on points over 12 torrid rounds to win the WBA super-featherweight title. The win kept his journey inside the boxing world alive. The Belfast boxer became a two-time world champion and remains one of the sport’s gentle heroes, a man with no concerns for the limelight.
