WBO cruiserweight champion Enzo Maccarinelli is very disappointed with Steve Cunningham's recent decision to not fight him on the Nov. 3 undercard to Joe Calzaghe-Mikkel Kessler at the Millennium Stadium. Cunningham will instead defend his IBF title against his mandatory, undefeated German fighter Marco Huck.
In a recent interview with The Evening Post, Maccarinelli said that Cunningham is still the fight he wants most.
"As far as I was concerned, Cunningham was the fight I wanted," Maccarinelli said. "He made all the right noises before I beat Wayne Braithwaite - but now he is fighting Huck. There is nothing we can really do about it now."
Macca had hoped to face unbeaten Johny Jensen instead, who also opted to turn down the fight
"It can be frustrating to see all these potential fights go astray, but that has not affected my attitude - I am raring to go," Maccarinelli said. "Jensen is undefeated and I thought he would have jumped at the chance to fight me, but he hasn't, which is strange. "But this won't affect me. I have spoken to (promoter) Frank (Warren) and he has got a couple of people in mind. We will wait and see but it won't stop me from preparing as best as I can."
