Newz Forum: BOXING: Chilean next up for Macca

Welsh cruiserweight Enzo Maccarinelli will make the fourth defence of his WBU title against Chile's Carlos Cruzat at the Newport Sports Centre on 3 July.


The 35-year-old Cruzat has won 30 of his 35 fights, knocking out 22 and finishing 14 inside four rounds.

"I love facing opponents who want to stand and fight and Cruzat will do just that," said Swansea's Maccarinelli.

"I'm just looking forward to getting back into the ring again and taking care of business swiftly."

The 23-year-old, who has 13 knockouts in 18 fights, last fought in February when he stopped tough Londoner Garry Delaney in eight rounds despite injuring his hand in the opening round.
