Wayne “Big Truck” Brathwaite referred to Shawn “The Sniper” Cox as “a girl” and “garbage”.
Cox floored Brathwaite three times in the first round of their featured bout to become the region’s newest Caribbean Boxing Federation’s (CABOFE) heavyweight champion at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall in Guyana last Saturday night.
Also in winner’s row was Miguel “Hands of Stone” Antoine, who defeated Guyanese pugilist Revlon Lake by a unanimous decision in a 12-round bout to capture the CABOFE super lightweight belt.
Both Barbadian fighters have now qualified for the World Boxing Council’s (WBC) prestigious World Cup tournament to be held in May, and guarantees fighters a minimum of US$30 000.
