Oleksandr Usyk vs. Marco Huck was a professional boxing match contested on 9 September 2017, for the WBO Cruiserweight championship.

Having made two defences of the WBO belt he had won from Krzysztof Głowacki in September 2016, Oleksandr Usyk entered the World Boxing Super Series in July 2017 as odds on favourite to win. At the WBSS draft Gala, held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on 8 July 2017, Usyk, who was the number one seed, chose to fight former WBO champion Marco Huck. When asked why he chose Huck, Usyk said, “Because of my fans.” Huck, who was equally excited, replied that Usyk was his ‘wish opponent’.

n 26 July it was announced that the fight would take place at the Max-Schmeling-Halle in Berlin on 9 September 2017. This would mark the second time Usyk would fight in Germany as a professional, having fought there in his third professional bout in April 2014. It would also mark the first fight of the tournament.

On 6 September, at the final press-conference, Huck pushed Usyk in the face-off. In regards to the shove, Huck said, “I wanted to show Usyk that he is in my hometown and that he should be prepared for the battle of his life on Saturday.” Usyk, who remained professional and calm, replied, “If you want to be a great champion, you have to beat the best and Huck is one of the best. I chose to enter this tournament because it is a path to achieve my dream of unifying all the belts.” As he was leaving the building, Usyk claimed he would ‘bury’ Huck.

😡”You got any EXCUSES tonight, Roy⁉️”

22 years ago today, one punch from Antonio Tarver completely altered the boxing landscape.
Roy Jones Jr was ‘THE MAN’ inside the squared circle; an all-time great racking up titles, records & dollars, by the bucket-load.

A middleweight, super-middleweight, light-heavyweight & heavyweight champion who had dropped back down to become the first-man to win a belt at 175Ibs, whilst reigning at heavy.

Tarver always disputed the decision loss to Jones but had the Pensacola man walked away following the victory, he may have gone down as the greatest to ever do it.

But after talks with Mike Tyson broke down, ‘Captain Hook’ went back in with ‘The Magic Man’ and one devastating left from the challenger would ensure the champion was never the same.
