DAZN News Daily Round-Up: WBA makes changes to Cacace vs. Ball, Tszyu's next opponent 'confirmed'

WBA elevates Cacace to 'super champion' ahead of Ball fight

Super featherweights Anthony Cacace and Nick Ball are set to meet on December 19 in a fight which has all the ingredients to be an all-action affair. 

Cacace, who was the WBA world champion at super featherweight, has been given 'super champion' status, and will be allowed to defend his label against Ball.  

Meanwhile, Elnur Samedov has been made the full WBA champion at 130lbs, therefore, the winner of Cacace-Ball must face Samedov next. 

Tszyu to face world champion Lara in December

Tim Tszyu is set to have a shot at becoming a two-weight world champion, with Fox Sports Australia reporting a deal is close for a clash with WBA middleweight champion Erislandy Lara. 

George Rose, who promotes Tszyu, confirmed discussions had taken place, and teased that an announcement is close. 

"We've had great discussions with Lara's team," Rose said. "And I feel like something is close to being announced."

This fight would likely take place in Australia and Tszyu will be riding high on confidence after beating former unified welterweight world champion Errol Spence Jr. in July.
