World boxing title hopeful Wayne `Big Truck' Braithwaite is likely to finally have his elimination bout for the World Boxing Council cruiserweight belt against Marcelo Dominguez of Argentina sometime in August.

According to the Guyanese's manager Buxo Potts of Trinidad and Tobago, Braithwaite will fight Dominguez sometime in August either in the United States or Argentina.

Potts, said the division is likely to become vacant of a champion following the expected elevation of title holder Juan Carlos Gomez to the heavyweight ranks.

As a result a number of elimination bouts between the top contenders will be staged to determine the best two to contest for the crown.

Braithwaite is currently ranked number two following his demolition of American Matthew Charlestown in two rounds last week Thursday in the United States.

Twenty-four year-old Braithwaite has 15-0 record with 13 knockouts.
