This is the Official Celtic FC Podcast and on this episode, Matt Campbell is joined by boxing world champion, Anthony Cacace in the Celtic Park studio.

Anthony ‘The Andytown Apache’ Cacace, hailing from Andersonstown in Belfast, won the IBO super-featherweight title against Michael Magnesi in 2022 before adding a second world title to his name by defeating Joe Cordina to claim the IBF super-featherweight crown. 

The Apache’s victory against Cordina came on the undercard of the massive Tyson Fury v Oleksandr Usyk fight in Saudi Arabia earlier this year, and the Belfast fighter reflects on that night and the work that he put in to become a world champion.

Cacace made boxing history by becoming the first Irish super-featherweight world champion and he opens up about that achievement and what it means to have created a legacy by fulfilling his ultimate ambition. 

He also looks back on his career as a whole, the setbacks he has suffered and the gruelling training camps that moulded him in to the champion he has become.

As well as his incredible boxing career, as a lifelong Celtic supporter, the Apache also speaks about his personal pride at being invited to Celtic Park for the Celts’ match against Aberdeen.
