Jazza Dickens first WBA world title defence announced for St. Patrick’s Day

'St. Patrick’s Day Weekend' - Dickens vs Cacace and O’Leary vs Chamberlain

Queensberry Promotions have announced a historic return to the Emerald Isle for a massive St. Patrick’s Day Weekend celebration of championship boxing, live on DAZN.

On Saturday, March 14, the 3Arena in Dublin will play host to an unforgettable night of world-class action, headlined by a highly anticipated world title clash and a domestic lightweight collision for the ages.

In the main event, Liverpool’s newly crowned WBA World Super-Featherweight Champion Jazza Dickens (36-5, 15 KOs) makes the first defence of his title against Belfast’s own Anthony “The Apache” Cacace (24-1, 9 KOs).

Cacace, a former IBO and IBF champion, looks to reclaim world honours on home soil in what is widely regarded as a 50-50 domestic thriller.

The co-main event features a homecoming for Dublin’s own “Big Bang” Pierce O’Leary, who puts his undefeated record on the line against the formidable Mark Chamberlain. The pair will battle for the vacant IBO World Super-Lightweight Championship in a fight that promises explosive fireworks from the opening bell.

“We are starting 2026 with a bang,” said Queensberry Chairman Frank Warren. “Dublin has a rich boxing history, and there is no better time than St. Patrick’s Day weekend to bring world championship boxing back to the 3Arena.

“Jazza Dickens vs. Anthony Cacace is a phenomenal match-up between two of the best in the division, and Pierce O’Leary finally gets the big homecoming he deserves against a serious threat in Mark Chamberlain. This entire show will be live and exclusive on DAZN, ensuring fans across the globe can witness the atmosphere of a Dublin fight night.”

Full undercard to be announced in the coming weeks.
