Enzo Maccarinelli (born August 20, 1980 in Swansea, Wales) is a professional boxer in the cruiserweight division. His record is 24-1 (18 KOs). He is the current WBO world cruiserweight champion.
On June 28, 2003, Maccarinelli won the vacant WBU cruiserweight title when he defeated Bruce Scott by fourth-round TKO.[1] He has defended the title seven times since then.
On July 8, 2006, Maccarinelli fought against former WBC cruiserweight champion Marcelo Fabian Domínguez for the WBO interim cruiserweight title. Maccarinelli won the title with a ninth-round TKO.[1] On September 22, 2006, Johnny Nelson relinquished the WBO world cruiserweight title, and so Maccarinelli was promoted to full champion status.[2]
On October 14, 2006 Maccarinelli made his first defence of the WBO title, stopping former foe Mark Hobson in the first round in a fight that was widely expected to last the distance (as indeed the first fight between the pair had).
