He last fought on May 18, 2024, in Queensberry Promotion, defending his IBF World and IBO World Super Featherweight Title against Joe Cordina and winning via punches TKO. Prior to this fight, it was supposed to fight on February 17, 2024, and November 18, 2023, but it was canceled due to an event postponed due to the main event cancellation and Cacace's hand injury, respectively. He successfully defended his IBO World Super Featherweight Title against Damian Wrzesiński (via unanimous decision) and Michael Magnesi (via split decision). During the Night of Champions event held in August 2021, Cacare defended his British Super Featherweight Title over a 12-round bout against Lyon Woodstock via unanimous decision.

Currently, Josh is on a two-consecutive losing streak. Josh Warrington last fought on October 7, 2024, in matchroom boxing and lost to Leigh Wood via strike knockout victory, losing his chance to a WBA World Featherweight Title belt. Prior to this loss, he could not defend his IBF World Featherweight Title belt against Luis Alberto. He first won this belt on March 26, 2022, against Kiko Martinez via a TKO/KO. He also beat Martinez in 2017 to claim the WBC International Featherweight Title belt. Josh has also faced Mauricio Lara twice, losing via a left hook TKO and a draw via technical decision over two rounds in the second meet. In May 2019, he challenged and won the IBF World Featherweight Title via a split decision over a 12-round ring bout against Lee Selby. Other victories he has recorded were Danny McDermid (via decision), Rendall Munroe (via retirement TKO), Martin Lindsay (via unanimous decision), and Davide Dieli (via TKO/KO).

This bout is a technical one to call. Both fighters have been impressive throughout their careers. Anthony is in good form and will be looking to defile his age disadvantage coming into this bout; he surely will be looking to make a statement, while Josh will be hoping to have a new title holder status. But here is the twist: Warrington is ineligible to win Belt due to the fact that if he wins, the title will become vacant as IBF ruled not worthy challenger. The safe bet in this bout is the round will surely exceed six. I'm standing with Anthony to win this.
