Wayne McCullough



Wayne Pocket Rocket McCullough (born Wayne William McCullough, 7 July 1970) is a retired professional boxer from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He is a former WBC Bantamweight champion.〔(''Sunday Mirror'' )〕
In addition to McCullough's dogged, relentless attacking style,〔(BBC News )〕 he was renowned for his cast-iron chin, having taken on two of boxing's biggest punchers in Naseem Hamed and Erik Morales, and going the full distance with both of them. During his bout with Morales in 1999, HBO commentator Larry Merchant joked, "If you look in the dictionary, under 'Tough Irishman', you'll find a picture of Wayne McCullough". McCullough was never once knocked down or stopped by a fighter in his whole professional career.〔(ESPN )〕
==Amateur career==
McCullough had a very successful amateur career, amassing a record of 319 wins and 11 defeats, with over 100 wins coming by way of knockout. As an amateur living in the staunchly loyalist Shankill Road area of Belfast, McCullough was selected by the island-wide Irish Amateur Boxing Association to participate in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, Korea, and was asked to carry the Irish flag because he was the youngest member of the team at 18 years old. He went on to win a silver medal for Ireland at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. Representing Northern Ireland at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, he won a gold medal and carried the Northern Ireland flag in the closing ceremony.〔(boxrec.com )〕 The medal ceremony for his Commonwealth title was marked by an unusual incident. A technical problem with the public address system made it impossible to play the recording of the song "Danny Boy", used instead of an anthem for medalists from Northern Ireland. The New Zealand official in charge of the sound, Bob Gibson, promptly took the microphone and sang the song unaccompanied.〔(pocketrocketbox.com )〕 In 1990, McCullough also won Bronze for Ireland at the Boxing World Cup in Mumbai, India.
