During the last few days, some words were exchanged between trainer Fritz Sdunek and the WBO cruiserweight champion Marco Huck (34-2-1, 25KOs). Sdunek, who trains WBC heavyweight beltholder Vitali Klitschko (44-2, 40KOs), believes his champion would overwhelm Huck at the heavyweight level.
Last month, Marco Huck (34-2, 25 KOs), the current WBO cruiserweight king, made a big impression on a lot of people when he nearly won the WBA "regular" heavyweight title from Alexander Povetkin (24-0, 16 KOs). He lost a twelve round majority decision.
Last night WBO cruiserweight champion Marco Huck publicly called out both Klitschko brothers in one of Germany’s biggest TV shows "TV Total“ hosted. "Captain“ Huck had a spezial present for showmaster Stefan Raab who hosts a platform diving event this weekend which will also feature Marco Huck as one of the guest stars: A life-size picture of himself holding baby-versions of the Klitschkos in his arms. "I don’t care which brother I can get my hands on, I would fight both of them right away“, says Huck. Raab’s answer: "If you win our diving event I will talk to Wladimir and make the fight happen!“
If Marco Huck (34-1, 25KOs) wants the pleasure of fighting a Klitschko, he may just get the opportunity to satisfy his demand. The WBO cruiserweight champion has been discussing a possible move to the heavyweight division and the first targets on his list are the Klitschko brothers, who practically own every major title at the weight.
