The Belfast fighter was originally set to face Ford in Saudi Arabia but was forced to withdraw due to a back strain
Anthony Cacace has called out Raymond Ford following the American’s unanimous decision win over Abraham Nova — who stepped in as a late replacement for Cacace — on Saturday.
The Belfast fighter was originally set to face Ford in Saudi Arabia but was forced to withdraw due to a back strain.
And he was an interested spectator as Ford took his professional record to 18-1-1 with a victory over Nova in Riyadh.
But Cacace was not impressed by the man he missed out on the chance to take on.
The 36-year-old wrote on social media: “Ray Ford, a typical American fighter, can talk the talk, but the guy has no engine. If pushed, he will fold.”
Cacace last fought in May when he stopped Leigh Wood in the ninth round of their IBO World Super Featherweight title fight, having having vacated his IBF belt in January.
The Belfast man clearly still fancies a fight with Ford, who won 96-94, 97-93 and 97-93 on the judges’ scorecards on Saturday night.
