Thread: Braithwaite Ready To Face Enzo Maccarinelli

WBO cruiserweight champion Enzo Maccarinelli (26-1, 20 KOs) was being lined up for a unification bout with IBF title holder Steve Cunningham. Promoter Frank Warren was negotiating with Cunningham's promoter Don King, but Wayne Braithwaite, another fighter represented by King, was a strong secondary option.

It appears that Braithwaite is now moving into the driver's seat and stands a good chance of landing the fight.

BBC Sport spoke with Braithwaite, who said he is more than willing to travel across the ocean to face Maccarinelli.

Never seen Enzo fight. Haven't seen "Big Truck", Dear God that is a stupid nick name, since he lost to Guillermo Jones. Braithwaite is a colorful character, should be a good fight.
