A professional fighter since 2012, Cacace fought on the undercard of Frampton’s memorable world title win over Kiko Martinez in Belfast in 2014, but for years his big break eluded him.

But after beating Michael Magnesi to win the IBO super-featherweight title in September 2022, he earned a shot at Cordina after overcoming Damian Wrzesinski in Belfast.

And with the Andersonstown fighter having overwhelmed the Welshman on the undercard of Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury’s heavyweight unification bout in Saudi Arabia, he now has the chance to light up another big bill against Warrington, who is making his debut at 130lb.

“It’s such an inspiring story, what Anto’s done,” added Frampton.

“A year ago, he was delivering Chinese [food] as a way to keep living and keep feeding his family. Boxing wasn’t paying much, he was having one fight a year for the last five years.

“It’s been really inspiring. If you’re waiting on that break and if it hasn’t come, just look at people like Anto Cacace.

“Going from what he was doing and not having a bean really not that long ago, [if he] beats Warrington, one more fight and he’s a millionaire. It’s an amazing story.”

Eighteen months before he won the UFC’s light heavyweight title, Jamahal Hill lost to Paul Craig by TKO – but it was his dislocated elbow that left his arm dangling while he had a stunned look on his face that was most memorable.

The UFC released its latest compilation video featuring just the sounds of the fighters, the arena and the corners – no commentary – of some of the most famous moments in company history, including Craig’s TKO of Hill, Dustin Poirier’s win over Dan Hooker, T.J. Dillashaw’s adrenaline-fueled grudge match with Cody Garbrandt; and many more.

Check out vintage Craig, as well as some other incredible UFC moments, in the video above. And below, don’t miss more coverage of those legendary fights.

With Schumacher the first managerial casualty this month – and fourth in the EFL this season – there might be a few other bosses shifting nervously in the dugouts this weekend.

Erol Bulut’s Cardiff City sit bottom of the Championship, without a win, and just one point. To make matters worse, they have only managed to score once in their first five league matches.

It’s the worst start to a season for the Bluebirds in more than three decades and the fans want answers – which, sadly for Bulut, could mean losing his job.

A win at the Cardiff City Stadium against Championship big boys Leeds United on Saturday, though, would certainly help ease the pressure.

Then there’s Ian Evatt at Bolton Wanderers.

After finishing third in League One last season, and only missed out on promotion after losing the play-off final against Oxford, Bolton are languishing down in 21st place.

The Trotters won their opening game but it’s been a struggle since.

They drew their second match and then lost three in a row, culminating in last weekend’s 4-0 demolishing by Huddersfield Town.

Evatt could do with turning things around quickly as Bolton host Reading this weekend.

Mike Perry is nearing his return to bare-knuckle fighting.

Following a brief crossover to boxing for a showdown against Jake Paul back in July, Perry is being targeted for his next fight in BKFC at the promotion’s first event in Philadelphia in December. Pennsylvania just recently sanctioned bare-knuckle fighting and BKFC president David Feldman is wasting no time bring an event to his home state.

“It was like a kid in a candy store,” Feldman told MMA Fighting after getting word that Pennsylvania was sanctioning bare-knuckle fighting. “It was like I get to do this in my home state. We’re targeting a mid-December date for our first show. Huge show in a huge arena.

“It’s going to be great. Mike [Perry] and we’re talking to Eddie [Alvarez] about coming back for another fight. It’ll be a super, super stacked card. We actually have some current really good professional boxers that have been hitting us up. It’s going to be stacked. There’s no doubt in my mind we’ll sell every single seat in the biggest arena in Philly. No doubt in my mind.”

Perry last appeared in BKFC back in April when he dispatched UFC veteran Thiago Alves in just 60 seconds to move his bare-knuckle record to 5-0. He didn’t have as much luck going against Paul in the boxing ring with Perry suffering a sixth-round TKO loss but now he’s returning to BKFC where he’s arguably become the face of the entire promotion.

Feldman says he couldn’t imagine a better fit than bringing Perry to Philadelphia while teasing another big-named opponent for the upcoming fight.

“I’m working on Mike’s opponent right now,” Feldman said. “If I tie that up, I think everybody’s going to be like ‘oh shit, really? How did you do that?’ It’s going to be amazing. I’m targeting to be the biggest card we’ve ever done as the homecoming. Everybody’s excited about it.”

“Philly is a working-class city. Mike Perry is a working-class guy. He’ll fit in very well with the fans there. He’s that kind of guy. We’ll get Conor McGregor to come to the event and just take it over the top. It’s literally going to be unbelievable.”

Of course, McGregor became a part-owner in BKFC back in April and he’s made several appearances at recent events while drawing interest to the bare-knuckle fights.

The date for the Philadelphia card is currently targeted for either Dec. 13 or Dec. 14, and Feldman has another surprise in mind with a big football game taking place that same weekend.

“We’re targeting the weekend where the Eagles are playing the Pittsburgh Steelers,” Feldman said. “So we’re going to do some Pittsburgh versus Philly guys on the card, too, so that’s going to be great.

“That show’s going to be sick. It’s going to be unbelievable. It’s going to be the biggest moment of my professional career absolutely, that will be unbelievable.”

Team members are also expected to wear their black away kit, which pays tribute to the disaster.

Parkinson added: “Today we showed the lads, and it’s more for the new players, a short video to make sure everyone’s got a clear understanding of the poignancy of the weekend.”

The club remains determined to show their respects to those involved in the tragedy on September 22, 1934.

Co-owner Rob McElhenney has visited the mining wheel in Gresford and the Miners Rescue Station.

Both of Wrexham’s kits for the 2024-25 campaign include a pit wheel graphic and “266” on the nape in tribute to those who died in the disaster.

The game with Crawley comes just five days after Wrexham suffered their first loss of the League One campaign.

Parkinson’s side were beaten 3-1 by Birmingham City on Monday night, but remain at the summit of the third tier table after their opening six league fixtures.

“We’re not going to get too downbeat about the defeat, we’re going to learn from it and look forward to the weekend’s game,” added Parkinson.

“Crawley have had quite a lot of change in personnel, but they’ve recruited well and they look outside the box.

“It’s going to be one of those games like we’ve played before, we’ve got to make sure we give them the utmost respect, but be ready to impose ourselves on them as a team.”

Defending champion Judd Trump suffered a surprising defeat at the English Open as he lost his quarter-final 5-3 to Wu Yize.

China’s world number 40 Wu started off with a break of 108 but fell behind 2-1 to England’s Trump, who tops the rankings.

However, Wu won four of the next five frames to become the first player to reach the Brentwood semi-finals.

Trump, with 998 career centuries, will have to wait for the chance to become the third player in history to reach 1,000 – after Ronnie O’Sullivan in 2019 and John Higgins this week.

Northern Ireland’s Mark Allen takes on Englishman Chris Wakelin in the second quarter-final, which got under way after Wu’s win.
