(L-Р) — Аляксандр Усык & Марка Хук
вусік, 30, is the No. 1 WSBB seed and consensus pre-tournament favorite. The Ukrainian is a two-time Olympian who struck gold at the 2012 Olympics in London. The powerful southpaw captured the WBO cruiserweight world title September 17, 2016, taking a 12-round unanimous decision in Poland from the previously undefeated, чэмпіён Кшыштаф Glowacki (26-0). Usyk has made two successful world title defenses, stopping challenger Thabiso Mchunu (17-2) last December in the ninth round, and winning a 12-round unanimous decision this past April fromМайкл Хантэр (12-0).
“Marco Huck is the most famous and prestigious opponent I could have chosen,” - сказаў Усык. “He has accomplished most title defenses in the history of the cruiserweight division, an extremely experienced man. Huck does not fear anything or anyone and goes for the victory through the fire. He marches constantly forward and tries to determine his fights by all means.
“I have a tactic specifically aimed at Huck. This is necessary because in my opinion he is one of my toughest competitors in this tournament. But why should I talk about it now and give Huck an advantage that he does not deserve? The surprising moment is on my side now, and I will take this advantage with me in the ring. Гек, дарэчы, has an advantage because he is at home in front of his audience in Berlin. This definitely makes him stronger but I love this challenge!
“I can fulfill my dream of unifying all the cruiserweight belts! I had previously thought about how it would be possible to achieve this goal. На шчасце, the door is now open for the road to glory. In this tournament with all the world champions participating and the winner can rightly be described as the best cruiserweight in the world. On top of that the winner gets the Muhammad Ali Trophy. I admire Ali, because he is the biggest role model in boxing. I will thank God if I win a trophy with his name on it.”
Serbia-born Huck has two distinct advantages over Usyk: fighting at home in Berlin as well as being much more experienced against world-class opponents. The 32-year-old Huck is 13-4-1 (6 КО) in world title fights and he has five victories against former or present world champions.
One of Huck’s four career losses as a professional, аднак, is to Glowacki, who lost the WBO title he won in 2015, by knocking out Huck in the 11й круглы, to Usyk a year ago.
“It is going to be very nice to fight in Berlin, but I would also fight Usyk on the moon,” Huck noted. “Usyk is a well-schooled boxer and I cannot wait to step into the ring with him.
“When I fight, there’s always something going on, it’s never boring but spectacular. Huck fans around the world know that a Huck fight means entertainment. When I reach my potential on
fight night, I can beat everyone. I am optimistic and confident that I will beat Usyk.”
In the 10-round co-featured event, former WBO International and World Youth cruiserweight champion Ноэль Гевор (22-1, 10 КО), fighting out of Germany by way of Armenia, takes on American Ісая Томас (15-1, 6 КО) in the WBSS Cruiserweight Substitution Fight.
Undefeated German middleweight prospect Patrick Wojcicki (9-0, 4 КО) faces FrenchmanFouard El Massoudi (14-9, 1 KO) у восем-раўндавым паядынку, while German super middleweight Denis Radovan (5-0, 2 КО) адпавядае Yasnn Binanga Abogho (6-1-1,) and German light heavyweightLeon Bunn (5-0, 5 КО) квадратаў з з Томаш “Temera” Gargula (18-7-1, 5 КО), Польшчы, in a pair of six-round matches, all scheduled to air live on Super Channel.
