Replacement for Cacace: Ford to Meet Abraham Nova

Twenty-six-year-old American Raymond Ford (17-1-1, 8 KOs) has an officially confirmed replacement opponent for his 16 August fight in Saudi Arabia. He will now face former world champion, 31-year-old American Abraham Nova (24-3-1, 17 KOs).

Ford had originally been slated to meet Britain’s Anthony Cacace, who withdrew because of a back injury.

In 2025 Nova has had one outing—a stoppage win over Herman Iván Meraz. Ford this year out-boxed Thomas Mattice on the judges’ cards.
