"The Threat: Newton
Former WBC & NABF
Bantamweight Champion Wayne McCullough
affectionately known as "The Pocket
Rocket" retired in the ring last night after
his fight in The Cayman Islands on Friday
night. McCullough who had not fought in
almost 3 years was giving it one more shot
as he was taking on Juan Diaz in a bout for
the NABF Featherweight title.
Although ahead on the
cards at the end of six, 58-57, 58-56 &
Ruiz 58-56, McCullough knew something was not
right and he did not come out for round
seven and shortly thereafter announced his
retirement from the ring.
Pound4Pound got in touch
with Wayne's wife Cheryl and she told us,
"Wayne had enough and although he was ahead,
he knew he was done."

Boxing fans from Wayne's home of
Belfast North Ireland to the United States can thank
"The Pocket Rocket" for giving us some of the greatest
and most action packed fights in recent memory.
Wayne will be remembered in the ring
as a true warrior and a Champion and we know he will
keep giving us years of enjoyment outside the ring as
he has become one of the top journalists in both Boxing
& MMA.
