Anthony Cacace sends message to Raymond Ford after American's win
Anthony Cacace has called out Raymond Ford after the American recorded a unanimous points victory over Abraham Nova - a late replacement for Cacace - on Saturday.
Belfast man Cacace was forced to pull out of a Saudi Arabia showdown with Ford 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.
