Queensberry Promotions are not yet concerned about James “Jazza” Dickens reaching Dublin, Ireland for his scheduled title defense against Anthony Cacace on March 14.
Dickens, the WBA junior featherweight titleholder, is scheduled to make the first defense of his title against Cacace at 3Arena. Dickens trains and lives in Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates, where there have been Iranian missile and drone attacks.
The attacks have caused huge closures to airspace in the Middle East airspace, leaving many stranded. The Irish junior lightweight Jono Carroll, who also lives there, is scheduled to fight Colm Murphy on the same promotion.
Dickens’ manager, Lee Eaton, also the head of boxing for Queensberry, regardless said: “We are monitoring the situation but not worried and look to get Jazza [Dickens] and Jono [Carroll] here next week.”
