By Cliff Rold - On August 14th, the longest reigning of the Cruiserweight titlists will make his US debut on the undercard of the Steve Cunningham-Antonio Tarver Heavyweight clash. If he wins, 30-year old Marco Huck (38-2-1, 26 KO) will break the overall division record for consecutive title defenses currently shared with Johnny Nelson of the U.K.
Huck’s only loss in the division came in an excellent 2007 scrap with Cunningham that saw the American come from behind to stop then undefeated Huck in the final round. His only other loss came via controversial decision to Alexander Povetkin in a failed 2012 shot at the WBA’s non-super version of their belt. It will Huck’s third career fight outside Germany and global demand could soon be on the upswing.
If Huck’s defense against undefeated Pole Krzysztof Glowacki (24-0, 15 KO) is in line with many of Huck’s outings, he has chance to cross borders and build fans quickly. Many fans bemoan the inconsistent level of action in the Heavyweight division. Cruiserweight has continued to provide thrills overseas after a burst of stateside interest in the 2000s that seemed to end with the rise in weight of Tomasz Adamek and David Haye.
