This was followed by another first round win over Bobby Gunn on April 7,2007 at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff. In which he knocked his opponent out in the first round in stunning fashion leaving Gunn with a bloodied face and broken nose.

On 21 July, 2007 Maccarinelli defended his title of WBO cruiserweight champion against Wayne Braithwaite and won by unanimous decision, after dominating the match.On 3 November, 2007 Maccarineli successfully defended his WBO cruiserweight title against Mohamed Azzaoui winning by TKO in the 4th Round.
