The Copper Box Arena in Hackney Wick should have been hosting the mouthwatering meeting between Jamel Herring and Carl Frampton this Saturday, but, after injury to the Irishman, the fight had to be postponed, and has now been rescheduled for Dubai in early April.
The card in London was then due to be topped by the intriguing British Super Featherweight title clash between the champion, Anthony Cacace, and Leicester’s Lyon Woodstock.
That fight had been canned in Summer 2020 when Cacace suffered an infection after dental surgery, but, in another cruel twist of fate, just two days out from fight night, Woodstock tested positive for COVID-19, so the contest must be pushed back once again to a date to be confirmed.

Cacace (18-1, 7 KO) signed with Queensberry last March after defeating Sam Bowen for the aforementioned title. Though he named Archie Sharp and Zelfa Barrett as ideal opponents for his first defense, he instead signed on to face Woodstock (12-2, 5 KO), who faced and fell to that exact duo. “Apache” ended up “being hospitalised after suffering an infection following dental surgery,” delaying the matchup until now.
“Thank God it has all cleared up and now I’m ready to rock against Lyon,” Cacace said. “The break has done me well and I’m just as hungry as ever. I know what I have to do against Lyon and I am coming over to do it. I know exactly what he brings, but I am well capable of knocking Lyon out. That’s because I won’t have to go looking for him. He is just there, loves a tear up. His style is to break opponents down. That plays into my hands. I think people will enjoy this one.”
