Photo credit: Ed Diller/DiBella Entertainment) By Scott Gilfoid: WBO cruiserweight champion Marco Huck (38-2-1, 26 KOs) has his sights set on some big game when he eventually moves up to the heavyweight division in the near future. Huck says he wants to fight WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (34-0, 33 KOs) and IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs).
Huck, 30, sees those two as guys he’d be very interested in fighting. Huck also has unfinished business with former WBA heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin, who beat him by a narrow 12 round majority decision in 2012. However, the 6’2” Povetkin is a short heavyweight, and the things that Huck was able to get away with in fighting Povetkin at close range aren’t things that he’d be able to do against the much taller Wilder and Klitschko.
