It’s Marco Huck. “[He is a] bad guy, because this man says bad words for my mama. Listen, it’s bad.”Usyk made Huck eat his words when they met in the ring.The German came out of the gates all guns blazing but he was immediately nullified by Usyk, who elected to go toe to toe in the centre of the ring.By round three, Usyk’s tireless work rate started to take its toll on Huck who was battered from pillar to post by his spiteful foe.Usyk pummelled Huck from pillar to postGETTYUsyk admits Huck is the only boxer he truly hatedGETTYIn the eighth stanza, as desperation started to set in, Huck tripped Usyk, resulting in a point deduction.Two frames later, he was stopped against the ropes by a heavy flurry, capping off a satisfying win for Usyk.In the proceeding stages of the Super Series, Usyk defeated Mairis Briedis and Murat Gassiev to win the Muhammad Ali Trophy and unify the cruiserweight division.Six years later, he would also achieve undisputed supremacy at heavyweight by edging Tyson Fury in a close encounter in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.He is now aiming to become a three-time undisputed champion in his upcoming clash with Daniel Dubois on July 19.
