The battle between two former Cruiserweight World Champions, Steve ‘USS’Cunningham (IBF) and Wayne ‘Big Truck’ Braithwaite (WBC), is a mouth
watering prospect in itself, but when you add into the equation that the
winner will earn the right to face current Champion, Tomasz ‘Goral’
Adamek, in the mandatory defense of his IBF title later this year, you
just know that it’s going to be one seriously exciting, all-action affair
with “Fight of the Year” potential plastered all over it in capital
letters.
Now if that isn’t enough to get every boxing fan salivating at the
prospect, the heavily armed destroyer, ‘USS’ Cunningham, announces that he
has added even bigger guns to his already power packed arsenal by
enlisting, “Trainer of the Year” and fight strategy maestro, Naazim
Richardson, to prepare him for the fight.
Richardson, without doubt the hottest property in the business today after
masterminding and coaching the magnificent victories of Bernard Hopkins
over Kelly Pavlik and ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley over Antonio Margarito - in the
latter also famously discovering the tampering of Margarito’s wraps, has
been working with ‘USS’ Cunningham since March this year, at The James
Shuler Memorial Gym in West Philadelphia, as the former Cruiserweight
King prepares for his long awaited IBF title eliminator against former WBC
Cruiserweight Champion Wayne ‘Big Truck’ Braithwaite, which will be on the
under card of the Joseph Agbeko-Vic Darchinian Bantamweight title fight,
on July 11th.
A clearly pleased ‘USS’ Cunningham expressed his delight at having Brother
Naazim in his corner for the upcoming battle with Guyanan slugger
Braithwaite, "Man, I have known Brother Naazim since the amateurs, I have
always respected him and wanted to work with him, I've known for years
what the boxing world is just now realizing, HE is the best trainer out
there.
I am really excited to be working with him, going to the gym everyday is
like going to college or something... I know his training will take me to
the next level.... If you've liked watching my fights before..stay
tuned..."
Stay tuned, now that’s an understatement! With this being the first time
the all new ‘Dream Team’, of Steve ‘USS’ Cunningham and Brother Naazim
Richardson, going into battle side by side making this is a don’t miss,
not a stay tuned!
Steve ‘USS’ Cunningham vs. Wayne ‘Big Truck’ Braithwaite takes place on
the 11th July 2009. Currently the fight is listed, on BoxRec, as being at
the Bank Atlantic Center, Sunrise, Florida but according to Don King
Productions PR supremo, Alan Hopper, this has yet to be confirmed as the
venue.
See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.
