Casey’s team confident ‘Big Bang’ can claim world title

WILLIE “Big Bang” Casey returns to camp on Monday to prepare for his World title fight against Cuban sensation Guillermo “El Chacal” Rigondeaux at the Citywest Conference Centre on March 19.

Rigondeaux, who beat Ricardo Cordoba for the WBA interim world title on his last outing, returned to his base in Texas this week, where he trains under Ronnie Shields, and had a warning for his opponent.

“Casey doesn’t belong in the same ring as me,” he said. “But I admire his courage for wanting to fight me. I’m excited about fighting in Ireland again, where I won my first World Championship as an amateur in 2001.”
