Marco Huck vs Ovill McKenzie
By Per-Ake Persson
 The always well informed Bild Zeitung writes that IBO cruiser king Marco Huck (39-3-1) will defend the title against dangerous Brit Ovill McKenzie (25-12-1) September 24 at the Festhalle in Frankfurt / Main. It will be Huck´s first defence of the title he won in February by stopping Ola Afolabi.
McKenzie drew against then IBF champ Victor Emilio Ramirez in October of last year and was then in line to fight for the vacant EBU title but pulled out due to illness.
Bild also writes that it's likely that WBA regular lightheavy champ Juergen Braehmer (48-2) will defend the title against Nathan Cleverly (29-3) September 17 with no site named. Braehmer has spent a lot of time in the gym of lately training supermiddle contender Tyron Zeuge and last fought in March when he beat Eduard Gutknecht.
Cleverly lost to Andrzej Fonfara in his last fight in October of 2015 and have in fact lost two of his last three.
Neither fight are officially confirmed by Huck Box Promotion or Sauerland Event respectivly.
