According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, Cruiserweight titlist Marco Huck will defend his title against Kryzystof Glowacki on August 14 on the Antonio Tarver – Steve Cunningham card on Spike TV. The fight will mark the American debut for Huck.

“I will be celebrating two firsts when I step into the ring on Aug. 14,” Huck said. “On the one hand it will be my first fight under the banner of Huck Sports Promotion, who will co-promote the bout in close cooperation with DiBella Entertainment. Furthermore, I will be giving my U.S. debut. The fight against Glowacki will be my first abroad. After leaving (longtime promoter) Sauerland (Event) I said that I wanted to fight overseas. That promise is now being kept.”

“The Pole is unbeaten and has a good KO ratio,” Huck said. “He will also have a lot of locals cheering him on, as many Polish citizens live on the East Coast. It will almost be like a home crowd. I am, however, confident that at the end of the night the fans both on site and in front of their TVs, will be celebrating with me. Boxing fans in America want to be entertained by the warriors inside the squared circle and my style of fighting provides just that, entertainment. Mission USA can begin.”

“I think Marco Huck is a great fighter and also a legit star in Europe,” DiBella said. “If there’s a cruiserweight star, it’s Marco Huck. I’ve been a fan of his forever and we’ve been trying to work together. The PBC has created an opportunity for me to put him on American TV because Showtime and HBO have not embraced cruiserweights. So to have an opportunity to bring the cruiserweight star to the United States and he’s a guy who can hang with heavyweights. I thought he won the fight with Povetkin. I’m thrilled to work with his people and to be his American promoter now. This is Huck’s time to make a move.”
