# Cacace beats Dickens to become World Champion in Dublin

**Anthony Cacace** was crowned **WBA featherweight champion** on Saturday, March 14 as [he defeated **James ‘Jazzy’ Dickens** by decision](https://boxing-social.com/news/dickens-v-cacace-fight/) atop a Queensberry Promotions card aired on DAZN from the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.

## How he won: Cacace won by decision

Cacace arguably won the fight in the middle rounds as he created enough distance between himself and Dickens to ensure he took the belt from the Brit providing he stayed upright through the rest of the bout. In truth, any comeback from Dickens was too little, too late, perhaps taking the 12th, to ensure he lost by unanimous decision.
