    Wayne McCullough is Saddened By Mural Snub

    Wayne McCullough has told the Belfast Newsletter that his omission from an official Shankill road mural depicting boxing legends from the area has left him feeling snubbed. McCullough won the WBC world bantamweight title from Yasuei Yakushiji in 1995; Wayne fought out of Vegas during his professional career, despite this, the man once nicknamed 'The Shankill Samurai' feels that he should have been included on the mural.

    Can be a funny old bunch us Paddy's..
    Haven't looked into this.. Could be political or it could be just for the fact that he emigrated to America, & did his fighting there instead of the Emerald Isle..
    Many people in that area, think the USA helped supply the IRA with weapons..
    This is all just speculation, but I doubt I'm far from the truth..
    It's a shame, cos an honest guy like Wayne would've only been doing what's best for his family...
