Marco Huck added to May 17th show

Koc-Dettweiler postponed until July

Press Release: Marco "Captain" Huck (20-1, 15 KOs) will fight Frantisek Kasanic (12-2, 12 KOs) in Bayreuth, Germany on May 17, 2008. After losing to IBF champion Steve Cunningham, Huck returned with a fifth-round TKO victory Leon Nzama on April 12th. "I will take this fight very seriously," Huck stated. "After losing to Cunningham and the fight against Nzama, I know what will be at stake." Huck knows not to take Kasanic (12-2, 12 KOs) lightly, especially after his second-round TKO victory over Pavol Polakovic last November. With Alexander Frenkel, Francesco Pianeta and Cecilia Braekhus also in action, it will be a busy night for coach Ulli Wegner, who said, "the high altitude training camp in Switzerland went very well. Now we carry on with sparring in Berlin." Meanwhile, the highly-anticipated heavyweight duel between Cengiz Koc and Rene Dettweiler has been postponed to July due to Dettweiler´s coaching change. The 25-year-old moved from Manfred Wolke to his former amateur coach Otto Ramin.
