Former WBO cruiserweight champion Marco Huck returns back to action on Feb 27 in Halle, Germany against British professional boxer and current IBO cruiserweight titleholder Ola Afolabi. Afolabi produced a performance full of determination to dethrone IBO world cruiserweight champion Rakhim Chakhkiev via shocking KO last month while Huck is returning from a KO loss to Krzysztof Glowacki.
Marco Huck: “In my last fight I didn`t show what I able to do. I beat myself against Glowacki. It won’t happen again. I’m getting ready with my new coach for the fight on Feb 27. I will be in top condition this time. Ola and I fought three very hard and close fights in the past, which were all decided in the last rounds. But now I want to end this chapter with an early KO victory an end it once and for all.”
Ola Afol Abi: ” I am very pleased to fight against Huck again. Our previous battles were all very exciting and close. This time though, there is a big difference: I am the reigning world champion and he is the challenger. I will defend my title, because I am at the peak of my career. Huck will get what Rakhim Chakhkiev got.”
The fight will be broadcast live in Germany by RTL. Tickets for the event on 27. February in the Gerry Weber Stadium are available on www.gerryweber-world.de3
