Super-featherweight Anthony Cacace pulled off a huge shock in Saudi Arabia by stopping Joe Cordina in the eighth round to win the IBF world title.
Cacace, 35, continued to dominate the rounds with power punches before the referee halted the contest following a flurry of shots. Fellow Briton Mark Chamberlain was also impressive as he stopped Joshua Wahab in the first round of their lightweight contest.In the build-up, Cordina – who made his entrance to the tune of 'Delilah' by Welshman Tom Jones - conceded Cacace was not the ideal opponent and had been targeting unification fights instead.The 20,000 capacity Kingdom Arena was around a third full and after a quiet opening round, the fight came alive in the third.
Cordina responded well, landing a left hook of his own in the fourth, but he looked vulnerable against a more dangerous puncher.
