Wayne "Big Truck" Braithwaite (born August 9, 1975) is a Guyanese former professional boxer who competed from 1997 to 2012, and held the WBC cruiserweight title from 2002 to 2005.

[1] The highlight of his early amateur career was winning a gold medal at the 1994 Junior Pan American boxing championships held in Venezuela.

Fighting in Cantatore's native Italy, Braithwaite was able to weather several onslaughts by his opponent, as well as questionable calls by the referee[citation needed], en route to a tenth-round stoppage victory.

A momentary career resurgence for Braithwaite in 2008 saw him upset then-undefeated and future unified cruiserweight world champion Yoan Pablo Hernández,[2] stopping him in three rounds and earning him a WBA and WBC regional title each.

Braithwaite was unable to sustain this form in his next fight the following year, losing a unanimous decision to multiple cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham.
