“Bring that s*** over here,” Ford wrote on X. “I’m ending that.”

Ford has stayed active and kept his name in the mix. He picked up the WBA belt against Otabek Kholmatov and followed it with a decision win over Abraham Nova. His only setback came in a tight split decision against Nick Ball.

From his side, the call makes sense. He is in position and looking for a fight that keeps him around the top.

Cacace is on a different run. The 37-year-old has built momentum with wins over Joe Cordina, Josh Warrington, Leigh Wood and most recently Jazza Dickens. He has put rounds together, held his feet when it matters and taken over fights with steady pressure and clean combinations.

The direction from his camp is clear.

“He’s a two-time world champion, and it’s unbelievable what he’s done,” Frank Warren said. “We’re going to get bigger fights for him here. This is his home. Ireland. This is where we’re going to make the fights happen.”

Cacace pointed to his next target in the ring.

“I want to unify the division. I want to have Emmanuel Navarrete next.”

Ford has made his move. Whether Cacace looks his way will depend on how those bigger fights play out.

For now, that is where it stands.
