He was put on medical suspension back in 2001 because a head injury from a motorcycle accident.2. The Humberto Soto-Francisco Lorenzo fight is considered to be a No-Contest by the WBC. They are not allowing Lorenzo who was being dominated and beaten to claim the interim WBC Super Featherweight Title on a controversial DQ. The result may not be changed by fight fax or Nevada State Athletic Commission.
3. Wayne McCullough says he is not retired. It was said after he did not answer the bell in his last fight on June 20 that he was retiring. He said he sometimes says whats on his mind and that gets him in trouble. McCullough says he is in the gym getting ready for another fight soon.
