Super Featherweight Anthony CAcace
St. Patrick's Day Weekend
DUBLIN ST. PATRICK’S DAY SPECTACULAR LIVE AND EXCLUSIVE ON DAZN: DICKENS VS. CACACE AND O’LEARY VS. CHAMBERLAIN HEADLINE 3ARENA BLOCKBUSTER.
DUBLIN, IRELAND — Queensberry Promotions is proud to announce a historic return to the Emerald Isle for a massive St. Patrick’s Day Weekend celebration of championship boxing. On Saturday, March 14, the 3Arena in Dublin will play host to an unforgettable night of world-class action, headlined by a highly anticipated world title clash and a domestic lightweight collision for the ages.
In the main event, Liverpool’s newly crowned WBA World Super-Featherweight Champion Jazza Dickens (36-5, 15 KOs) makes the first defence of his title against Belfast’s own Anthony “The Apache” Cacace (24-1, 9 KOs). Cacace, a former IBO and IBF champion, looks to reclaim world honors on home soil in what is widely regarded as a 50-50 domestic thriller.
The co-main event features a homecoming for Dublin’s own “Big Bang” Pierce O’Leary, who puts his undefeated record on the line against the formidable Mark Chamberlain. The pair will battle for the Vacant IBO World Super-Lightweight Championship in a fight that promises explosive fireworks from the opening bell.
“We are starting 2026 with a bang,” said Queensberry Chairman Frank Warren. “Dublin has a rich boxing history, and there is no better time than St. Patrick’s Day weekend to bring world championship boxing back to the 3Arena. Jazza Dickens vs. Anthony Cacace is a phenomenal match-up between two of the best in the division, and Pierce O’Leary finally gets the big homecoming he deserves against a serious threat in Mark Chamberlain. This entire show will be live and exclusive on DAZN, ensuring fans across the globe can witness the atmosphere of a Dublin fight night.”
Full undercard to be announced in the coming weeks.

Fighter ProfileJames, obviously better known as Jazza, Dickens is enjoying a late-career flourish and one that he always strongly predicted would happen.
The Scouse southpaw is now the WBA super featherweight champion of the world and he makes what should be a thrilling first defence of his status in Dublin on March 14 against the IBO world champion Anthony Cacace on what is St Patrick’s weekend.
Jazza, now 34, won the WBA Interim world title with an upset victory in Istanbul over the previously unbeaten Albert Batyrgraziev in July and he was upgraded to full champion in December following Lamont Roach Jr being stripped of the title. Dickens is no stranger to the top table in the sport because in July 2016 he took on the great Cuban Guillermo Rigoneaux for the WBA Super world championship at super bantamweight. Unfortunately, a shattered jaw forced him out of the fight after the second round. He fought Kid Galahad in 2021 for the IBF world featherweight title - being retired at the end of the 11th - before winning the IBO world title in 2022 with a stoppage victory over Lerato Diamini in his native Liverpool. More recently, Dickens scored a comprehensive victory over Zelfa Barrett in Manchester at the beginning of 2025.

"The Apache"
Fighter profileAnthony ‘The Apache’ Cacace is presently the pride of Belfast since his against-the-odds success over Joe Cordina in Riyadh in May 2024, where he seized the IBF world super featherweight title.
Already the IBO world champion, thanks to his victory over Michael Magnesia in September 2022, Cacace actually didn’t get to defend his IBF belt. After Cordina, he took on former featherweight world champion Josh Warrington at Wembley Stadium and comfortably outpointed the Leeds favourite before taking his show on the road to the Nottingham home of Leigh Wood and defending his IBO belt once again with a ninth round stoppage of the former WBA world featherweight champion.
Now a genuine force on the world stage, Cacace will now swap Belfast for Dublin on March 14 when he will take on the WBA world super featherweight champion Jazza Dickens in another thrilling domestic collision and the chance to become a two-time world champion.
