***Big July coming up for Huck: “I will get married as world champion”***
Inside and outside the ring, July will be a special month for WBO Cruiserweight Champion
Marco “Captain” Huck. The 26-year-old power puncher (32-1, 23 KOs) will make the seventh
defence of his title against Hugo Hernan Garay (34-5, 18 KO´s) in Munich on July 16
before getting married two weeks later. “The next weeks will be huge for me,” he said.
“Of course I want to get married as world champion. That´s why I have to take care of
business against Garay.”
Asked whether the fight or the wedding would make him more nervous, he replied: “That´s
tough to tell. I must confess that both events make me a little nervous. In boxing,
that´s nothing new – everybody is nervous ahead of a world title fight. But my experience
will help me. Even though I am just 26, this will already be my seventh title defence. I
am getting stronger every day. I have not reached my peak yet. The best is yet to come.”
Huck claimed the wedding has not affected his preparations for the big clash in Munich.
“I let my family handle the organisation. I only have to make sure I bring the belt,” he
stated. “Right now, there is only Garay on my mind. I know he is tough and will be
pushing the action, but there is no way he can keep up with my power and explosiveness.
He will go down on July 16, just as all the other fighters who have tried to take my belt
away from me.”
Garay, who is shaping up in training camp in Cordoba, believes he will be the last man
standing in Munich. “Huck is a great champion and he has proven his class in his title
defences, but I have a bigger heart than he has and I am much faster. I will be the
champion on July 16.
